About Capital Gains (STCG & LTCG)
- Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG): Short holding period — Shares (<1 yr) 15%, Property (<2 yrs) slab rate
- Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG): Long holding period — Shares (>1 yr) 10% above ₹1 lakh, Property (>2 yrs) 20% with indexation
- Basic Formula: Capital Gain = Sale Price – (Purchase Price + Expenses + Improvements)
- LTCG Formula with Indexation: Indexed Cost = Purchase Price × (CII of Sale Year / CII of Purchase Year) | LTCG = Sale Price – Indexed Cost
- Capital gain is the profit earned on sale of assets like property, shares, or investments
