Equity Capital Gains Tax Calculator
Tax on selling stocks or equity mutual funds — the holding period changes everything.
Shares the ₹1.25L exemption
Short-term vs long-term
Listed equity and equity funds: held 12 months or less is short-term, taxed flat at 20%. Held over 12 months is long-term, taxed at 12.5% — but only on gains above ₹1,25,000 in a financial year, and that exemption is shared across all your long-term equity gains combined, not per transaction.
No indexation on equity LTCG anymore. The 20%
with indexation option was withdrawn for listed equity; it still exists for some
other asset classes like property, which this calculator does not cover.
