Tax payable when reselling an auction property at a profit.
Short-term capital gains (held ≤ 24 months) are taxed at slab rates. Long-term (> 24 months) at 12.5% without indexation (post-July 2024 regime). The cost basis is the auction price + stamp duty + registration + improvement costs. Section 54 / 54EC exemptions may apply for residential properties.
