ITAT Jaipur Rules Section 87A Rebate Applies to Short-Term Capital Gains for AY 2024-25
The Jaipur Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ruled that for Assessment Year 2024-25, taxpayers could claim the Section 87A rebate on tax payable for short-term capital gains (STCG) under Section 111A. This decision came after the Income Tax Department denied the rebate during return processing, citing special tax rates on STCG. The Tribunal noted that the law for that year did not explicitly exclude STCG from the rebate, unlike certain long-term capital gains. The ruling may benefit taxpayers who were previously denied this rebate and clarifies the legal position before subsequent legislative changes.
