Case Laws & Commentary
SECTION 80T — DEDUCTION IN RESPECT OF LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS (NON-CORPORATE) (OMITTED)
Omitted-Section Note (Income-tax Act, 1961 as amended by Finance Act, 2026)
STATUS — OMITTED PROVISION
Section 80T of the Income-tax Act, 1961 stands OMITTED and is not in force for any current assessment year. This note records the omission for completeness of the Chapter VIA series.
BARE-ACT ENTRY (verbatim, Income-tax Act, 1961 as amended by Finance Act, 2025)
80T. [Omitted by the Finance Act, 1987, w.e.f. 1-4-1988. Original section was inserted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1967, w.e.f. 1-4-1968 in replacement of section 114.]
A. HISTORICAL NOTE
Section 80T allowed assessees other than companies a deduction from long-term capital gains (a fixed amount plus a percentage of the balance), in replacement of the former section 114. It was omitted by the Finance Act, 1987 with effect from 1 April 1988, when the scheme of taxing long-term capital gains was restructured; the field is now occupied by the indexation mechanism in section 48 and the concessional rates in section 112 / 112A.
B. CASE LAW
The provision stands omitted and confers no deduction for any current assessment year. No case law is digested. Decisions rendered under it survive only as historical authority and for reassessment of years in which it was in force.
Editorial note on sourcing
Bare-Act omission entry reproduced verbatim from the Income-tax Act, 1961 as amended by the Finance Act, 2025 (no Finance Act, 2026 change affects an already-omitted provision). Insertion/omission history stated from the bare-Act footnote. No case law is digested for an omitted provision; any historical authority is noted only for context.
