What is capital gains tax?
Capital gains tax is the tax levied on the profit you make when you sell a capital asset — such as equity shares, mutual funds, property, or gold — for more than its purchase price, with the rate depending on the asset type and how long you held it.
What is the difference between short-term and long-term capital gains?
The classification depends on the holding period and asset type: equity and equity mutual funds held under 12 months are short-term, while other assets like debt funds, property, and gold are short-term if held under 24 months; longer holdings qualify as long-term.
What is the current LTCG tax rate on equity?
Long-term capital gains on equity shares and equity mutual funds held over 12 months are taxed at 12.5%, with the first ₹1.25 lakh of such gains in a financial year exempt from tax.
What is the current STCG tax rate on equity?
Short-term capital gains on equity shares and equity mutual funds held under 12 months are taxed at a flat 20%, regardless of your income tax slab.
