ICAI Direct Taxes Committee to Hold Capital Gains Taxation Webinar on August 27

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India’s Direct Taxes Committee has announced a live webinar on “Capital Gains Taxation and Exemptions” for August 27, 2026. The programme is scheduled from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM and is available through ICAI’s official live-event platform.

Confirmed programme details

ICAI’s event page confirms the subject, date and timing of the session and links directly to the official registration page. The programme is being organised by the Direct Taxes Committee of ICAI, making it particularly relevant for members working in tax compliance, advisory, return preparation and transaction support.

Why capital gains is a practical focus area

Capital gains questions frequently arise in transactions involving securities, immovable property and other capital assets, with exemptions and eligibility conditions often determining the ultimate tax outcome. For practitioners, the subject can require careful attention to the nature of the asset, holding period, computation rules, available reliefs and documentation.

The ICAI session is therefore useful as a current professional-update opportunity for members who regularly advise taxpayers on asset transfers or review capital-gains positions during return filing and tax planning.

What is verified — and what is not

The official event page currently verifies the webinar title, organiser, date, time and registration link. It does not publish a detailed session agenda on the page reviewed for this update. CA Samaaj therefore does not attribute any specific sub-topic, speaker or technical conclusion to the programme beyond what ICAI has officially announced.

Action for interested members

CAs who want to attend should register through ICAI’s official portal and check the same page for any last-minute change in access details. As with any technical tax programme, participants should separately refer to the applicable statutory provisions and official tax guidance before acting on a particular client matter.
