Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capital gains tax rate for equity in 2026-27?
For equity shares and equity mutual funds (STT paid): Short-term capital gains (STCG, held < 12 months) are taxed at 20% (raised from 15% in Budget 2024). Long-term capital gains (LTCG, held > 12 months) above ₹1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5% (raised from 10% in Budget 2024). Indexation benefit removed for LTCG on equity.
What is LTCG exemption on equity mutual funds?
LTCG up to ₹1,25,000 per year from listed equity shares and equity mutual funds is exempt from tax. Gains above ₹1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5% without indexation. This exemption applies only to assets held for more than 12 months.
How are capital gains on property taxed?
Property held < 24 months: Short-term capital gains — added to income and taxed at slab rates. Property held > 24 months: Long-term capital gains taxed at 12.5% without indexation (Budget 2024 removed indexation). Exemption under Section 54 available if gains are reinvested in another residential property.
Can I set off capital loss against capital gains?
Yes. Short-term capital loss can be set off against both STCG and LTCG. Long-term capital loss can only be set off against LTCG (not STCG). Unabsorbed capital losses can be carried forward for 8 years (must file ITR within due date).
What is the STT and how does it affect capital gains?
STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is levied on equity transactions on stock exchanges. Payment of STT qualifies equity gains for the concessional LTCG (12.5%) and STCG (20%) rates. Without STT, equity gains are taxed at normal slab rates for STCG and 12.5% for LTCG.
