Rationalization of section 43CA, section 50C and section 56. At present, while taxing income from capital gains (section 50C), business profits (section 43CA) and other sources (section 56) arising out of transactions in immovable property, the sale consideration or stamp duty value, whichever is higher is adopted. The difference is taxed as income both in the hands of the purchaser and the seller.
Section 45 of the Act, inter alia, provides that capital gains arising from a conversion of capital asset into stock-in-trade shall be chargeable to tax. However, in cases where the stock in trade is converted into, or treated as, capital asset, the existing law does not provide for its taxability.
It is proposed to amend the section 54EC so as to provide that capital gain arising from the transfer of a long-term capital asset, being land or building or both, invested in the long-term specified asset at any time within a period of six months after the date of such transfer, the capital gain shall not be charged to tax subject to certain conditions specified in this section.

Now LTCG on shares on stock exchange will be taxable @10% for gain exceeding Rs. 1,00,000 and the benefit of indexation will also not be given. This change seems a bit inappropriate because since the STT is still there and STT was introduced to set LTCG on shares free. Capital gains made on shares until Jan 31 will be grandfathered. So,with this tax regime focus may shift to Trading instead of investing.
