What is Capital Gain?

A capital gain arises when you sell a capital asset for a price higher than its purchase cost. Capital assets can include shares, mutual funds, property, bonds, foreign stocks, gold, and other investments. The difference between the sale price and the purchase cost is treated as a capital gain and may be taxable under the Income Tax Act.

Based on the type of asset and the period for which it was held before sale, capital gains are classified into:

  • Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG): Gain earned from the sale of a capital asset held for a relatively shorter period.
  • Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG): Gain earned from the sale of a capital asset held for a longer period as prescribed under tax laws.

The tax treatment, applicable tax rates, exemptions, and reporting requirements for capital gains vary depending on the nature of the asset and the duration of holding. Therefore, it is important to correctly calculate and report your capital gains while filing your Income Tax Return (ITR).
