These property sellers may need to re-compute advance tax after delayed release of Cost Inflation Index for tax year 2026-27; here’s what to do

Property sellers may need to re-compute advance tax after the Cost Inflation Index release. This delay impacts individuals selling property acquired before July 23, 2024. Advance tax payments for the first quarter were due before the index was notified. Underestimating tax liability could lead to interest charges for deferred payments. Taxpayers can adjust subsequent installments or claim refunds if overpaid.
