Frequently Asked Questions
Capital gain is sale value minus purchase value minus transfer expenses. Tax is calculated on the taxable capital gain based on asset type and holding period.
STCG means short-term capital gain and LTCG means long-term capital gain. Listed equity usually becomes long-term after 12 months, while many other assets use a longer holding period.
For listed equity and equity mutual funds, long-term capital gains up to Rs 1.25 lakh are exempt in this simplified calculator. Tax applies only on gains above that limit.
This calculator gives an estimate. Actual tax may depend on indexation rules, grandfathering, surcharge, cess, set-off of losses, residential status and latest tax law. Consult a CA for filing.
