Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between STCG and LTCG?
Short-term Capital Gains (STCG) arise from assets held for a short period, while Long-term Capital Gains (LTCG) are from assets held for longer periods. The holding period criteria and tax rates vary by asset type.
What is indexation benefit?
Indexation adjusts the purchase price of an asset for inflation, effectively reducing the taxable capital gains. This benefit is available for long-term capital gains on certain assets.
Are there any exemptions available?
Yes, various exemptions are available under different sections like 54, 54F, etc., especially for property. These typically require reinvestment of gains in specified assets.
How is holding period calculated?
Holding period is calculated from the date of purchase to the date of sale, excluding both days. Different asset types have different holding period criteria for classification as long-term.
