Removal of indexation benefit: Here is a list of things you need to know
The government has clarified that the removal of indexation benefits will not be applicable to old properties held before 2001, which would continue to get indexation benefits.
The new norms are applicable with immediate effect, ie, from July 23, 2024. This move is unlikely to impact the end-users who sell their existing house and reinvest in a new house (LTCG is not applicable).
The impact of this new regime would be neutral/marginally beneficial for investments with longer holding period (>10 years) and where property price appreciation is at >10% p.a.
CLSA believes markets like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, which are end-user driven markets, will be the least impacted. Markets such as NCR and Mumbai, which have higher investor activity, are likely to be adversely impacted.
There will be no impact for super-luxury apartments.
