Capital Gains Tax Kya Hai?
Capital Gains Tax woh tax hai jo aapko tab lagta hai jab aap koi capital asset — jaise stocks, mutual funds, real estate, gold, bonds — bechte ho aur usse profit (gain) hota hai. Matlab agar bechne ka price kharidne ke price se zyada hai, toh jo fark hai woh aapka capital gain hai aur uspe tax lagta hai. India mein capital gains pe Income Tax Act, 1961 ke under tax lagta hai, aur rate asset ke type aur holding period pe depend karta hai.
Agar sale price purchase price se zyada hai, toh fark capital gain hai aur yeh taxable hai. Agar aap loss pe bechte ho, toh woh capital loss kehlata hai, jo doosre capital gains ke against set off karke tax kam kiya ja sakta hai.
Tax treatment holding period pe depend karta hai. Kam time tak hold kiye gaye assets pe Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) tax lagta hai, jabki lambe time tak hold kiye gaye assets pe Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax lagta hai — jo generally kam rate pe hota hai.
STCG vs LTCG — Kya Hai Fark?
STCG aur LTCG mein sabse bada fark yeh hai ki aapne asset ko bechne se pehle kitne time tak hold kiya. Holding period ki threshold har asset type ke liye alag hoti hai:
- Listed Equity Shares & Equity Mutual Funds: 12 mahine. 12 mahine se pehle becha = STCG; 12 mahine ke baad becha = LTCG.
- Debt Mutual Funds (1 Apr 2023 ke baad khareedhe): Koi LTCG benefit nahi. Saare gains STCG hain chahe holding period kitna bhi ho.
- Property (Real Estate): 24 mahine. 24 mahine se pehle becha = STCG; 24 mahine ke baad becha = LTCG.
- Gold, Unlisted Shares, Doosre Assets: 24 mahine ki threshold.
Tax Rate Ki Tulna
Equity pe STCG flat 20% pe tax hota hai, jabki doosre assets pe STCG aapke income tax slab rate pe tax hota hai. Equity pe LTCG Rs 1.25 lakh ki exemption limit ke upar 12.5% pe tax hota hai, aur doosre assets pe LTCG bhi 12.5% hai bina indexation ke (FY 2024-25 se zyaadatar transactions ke liye).
