Taxpayers must complete tax harvesting by March 28, 2025, since March 31, 2025, is a stock market holiday. Tax harvesting involves selling equities to realize long-term capital gains (LTCG) within the exemption limit of ₹1.25 lakh (increased from ₹1 lakh) and repurchasing them the next day. This helps minimize LTCG tax liability under Section 112A. The increased exemption limit applies from July 23, 2024, making it more beneficial to execute tax harvesting in FY 2024-25 than FY 2023-24.
