0% of students got this wrong
EXPLANATION
Sections 54EA and 54EB previously allowed individuals to claim LTCG exemption by reinvesting gains into specified government bonds or securities within 6 months of the asset sale. These provisions were withdrawn. Currently, the primary LTCG exemption available to mutual fund investors is the ₹1.25 lakh annual exemption for equity funds — there is no general reinvestment exemption for mutual fund LTCG comparable to Section 54 (for property sales).
