GOLD & TAXATION by Meenakshi Subramaniam Former IRS

Gold & Taxation is India’s first and only dedicated treatise on gold taxation, this Fifth Edition covers every form of gold and silver—jewellery, ETFs, Sovereign Gold Bonds, Mutual Funds, futures, bank lockers, and more—alongside full GST treatment for consumers and traders. Updated for the Income-tax Act 2025, Union Budget 2026, and the post-Finance Act 2024 capital gains overhaul, every provision is cross-referenced between ITA 2025 and ITA 1961. Spanning 23 chapters and 10 appendices, it consolidates income-tax law, GST, valuation, search and seizure, PMLA, and investment taxation into a single reference—with case law from the Supreme Court and 17 High Courts, worked numerical scenarios, comparative tables, and practical tips throughout. Written in an accessible style that pairs statutory rigour with anecdote and worked examples, it serves individuals, women with stridhan claims, jewellers, CAs, investors, and NRIs—each finding something directly actionable.
