                            Big Change in Taxation: 87A Rebate Restricted to Regular Income Only
One significant change brought about by the recent alteration to Section 87A of the Income Tax Act is the removal of the rebate on special rate incomes, such as short-term and long-term capital gains. The Bombay High Court formerly permitted the refund even for earnings with special rates, but this has now been reversed. Even if their total income is less than ₹7 lakh, taxpayers who make capital gains will now be required to pay tax at certain rates. The changes, their effects, and tax preparation techniques are examined in this blog.

                            Tax Exemption on Crypto Gains Prior to FY 2023: Key ITAT Verdict
For Indian cryptocurrency investors, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's (ITAT) recent decision is a huge relief. Gains from bitcoin transactions completed before to FY 2022–2023 are exempt from the recently implemented 30% tax under Section 115BBH of the Income Tax Act, the ITAT clarified. Rather, depending on the nature and purpose of the transaction, these earnings will be taxed as either capital gains or business income under the current laws. This historic ruling guarantees that tax regulations cannot be enforced retroactively, eliminates uncertainty, and gives investors clarity. The decision emphasizes the significance of accurate record-keeping and helps taxpayers who still owe money on assessments from prior years.
