As per Union Budget 2018, Long-term Capital Gains (LTCG) on the sale of listed securities exceeding Rs.1 lakh will be taxed at 10%. The short-term gains will be taxed at 15 percent. In a relief for the existing investors, the amount of capital gains made before January 31, 2018 will not be taxed. However, the amount of gains made after the set date will be taxed. The move has been made by the government to bring about parity as the tax exemption on this class of assets was being taken advantage of by the rich in the nation.
