Tax Compliance for Equity Portfolios
Maximizing returns requires understanding your net post-tax income. SP RESEARCHVIA PVT. LTD. details the holding periods and tax rates for Indian stock market participants.
What are the holding periods for LTCG and STCG in India?
Listed shares held for more than 12 months qualify for Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG), which are taxed at lower rates. Shares sold within 12 months of purchase are categorized under Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) and taxed at higher rates.
Tax Planning
Always review your portfolio holding dates before selling, as holding a position for a few extra days to cross the 12-month mark can lead to significant tax savings.
