Many taxpayers assume that income up to Rs. 12 lakh is completely tax-free under the new regime. The key takeaway is that Section 87A provides a rebate, not an exemption, and tax may still arise on special-rate income.
Tribunal held that Section 87A rebate is linked to total income, which includes short-term capital gains. CPC’s denial of rebate on Section 111A gains was therefore unsustainable for AY 2024-25.
ITAT Bangalore held that rebate under Section 87A cannot be denied on short-term capital gains taxable under Section 111A where total income is below Rs. 7 lakh. The Tribunal ruled that no statutory prohibition existed during the relevant assessment year.
The Tribunal ruled that long-term capital gains taxable under Section 112 form part of total income and qualify for Section 87A rebate if the prescribed income limit is satisfied. It also held that Finance Act 2025 amendments restricting the rebate are prospective.
Rebate under Section 87A includes STCG for eligibility but cannot be applied to such income. This creates a limitation in tax benefit for taxpayers earning capital gains.
The issue is whether agricultural income affects eligibility for rebate under Section 87A. The article explains that legally, total income excludes such income, supporting rebate claims. However, ITR utilities may deny the benefit, creating a compliance risk.

Learn how Section 87A rebate works with LTCG u/s 112A under the new tax regime for FY 2025–26. Eligibility, limits, and tax calculation explained simply.
The rules clarify that special-rate incomes are excluded to test the ₹12 lakh limit, but rebate cannot reduce tax on STCG. The takeaway is clear separation between normal income rebate and special-rate taxation.
The note highlights gaps in existing tax provisions affecting families, seniors, and small investors. It suggests targeted reforms to make tax outcomes more balanced and predictable.
