54EC Capital Gain Bonds are a type of investment instrument in India that offer tax exemption on long-term capital gains. These bonds are issued by the government-owned entities, such as Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
They are typically used by individuals or Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) who have earned long-term capital gains from the sale of a property, land or any other asset and want to avoid paying capital gains tax on the same.
Investing in these bonds not only offers tax benefits but also provides a fixed return on investment for the entire tenure. These bonds are usually considered a safe investment option, backed by the government, making them a popular choice among investors looking to save on taxes and generate stable returns.
