Capital Gains ITR in Gurugram: Navigating Post-Budget 2024 Tax Changes
📌 TL;DR - ITR for Capital Gains in Gurugram Services at a Glance
Anyone who sold shares, mutual funds, property, gold, bonds, or virtual digital assets in FY 2025-26 must report capital gains in their ITR. Budget 2024 (effective 23 July 2024) restructured capital gains taxation: LTCG on equity is now 12.5% above Rs 1.25 lakh (Section 112A), STCG on equity is 20% (Section 111A), and indexation is removed for most assets except a transitional option for property purchased before 23 July 2024. ITR forms require mandatory split reporting of pre and post 23 July 2024 transactions. The form is ITR-2 (without business income) or ITR-3 (with business income). Due date is 31 July 2026. Late filing forfeits capital loss carry-forward rights.
Gurugram is a city of investors. IT professionals in DLF Cyber City trade actively on stock markets, hold ESOPs and RSUs from multinational employers, and invest in mutual funds through SIPs. The Golf Course Road and DLF Phase 1-5 corridors see hundreds of high-value property transactions annually, with apartments and penthouses selling at Rs 15,000-30,000 per square foot. Sohna Road's emerging property market attracts both resident and NRI investors. Every one of these transactions generates capital gains or losses that must be reported in the ITR.

Haryana does not levy Professional Tax, but Gurugram residents face significant capital gains tax obligations given the city's high property values and active investment culture. The Budget 2024 changes - effective from 23 July 2024 - have created a dual reporting requirement for FY 2025-26 transactions: gains from assets sold before 23 July 2024 follow the old rates, and gains from assets sold from 23 July 2024 onwards follow the new rates. The ITR forms for AY 2026-27 (notified 30 March 2026) mandate this split reporting in Schedule CG.
