Frequently Asked Questions

What is LTCG tax on equity in FY 2025-26? ▼
Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on listed equity shares and equity mutual funds held for more than 12 months are taxed at 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh per financial year (post Budget 2024, w.e.f. July 23, 2024). No indexation benefit. Gains within ₹1.25L exemption: zero tax. Use the calculator above to compute your exact liability.
What is STCG tax rate in India? ▼
Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) on equity held for 12 months or less: 20% (Budget 2024, up from 15%). For debt MFs, property, gold held short-term: taxed at your income tax slab rate. 4% cess applies in all cases. Use our Income Tax Calculator to see the combined impact on your total tax liability.
How does indexation work for capital gains on property? ▼
Indexation adjusts the purchase cost for inflation using the Cost Inflation Index (CII). For property acquired before July 23, 2024: you can choose either (a) 12.5% LTCG without indexation or (b) 20% LTCG with indexation — whichever is lower. For property acquired on/after July 23, 2024: only 12.5% without indexation applies. The calculator handles both cases automatically based on your purchase date.
Can capital losses be set off against gains? ▼
Yes. Short-term capital losses can be set off against both STCG and LTCG. Long-term capital losses can only be set off against LTCG. Unabsorbed capital losses can be carried forward for 8 assessment years (requires filing ITR before the due date). Losses from speculative transactions (intraday equity) can only be set off against speculative gains.
