Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LTCG exemption for equity?
₹1,25,000 per financial year — long-term equity gains above this are taxed at 12.5%, with no exemption applied to short-term gains.
What holding period counts as long-term for equity?
More than 12 months for listed equity shares and equity mutual funds. For other assets like property, gold, and debt funds, it is more than 24 months. An asset held for exactly 12 (or 24) months is treated as short-term.
Can I set off capital losses?
Yes, generally — short-term losses can be set off against both short-term and long-term gains, while long-term losses can only be set off against long-term gains, subject to conditions and carry-forward rules.
