Capital Gains Planning
Selling a property, shares, or other investments can bring in significant profits – but it also attracts Capital Gains Tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961. With the right Capital Gain Planning, you can legally minimize taxes, maximize your returns, and stay fully compliant.
At NEXGENCA, we specialize in offering strategic capital gains tax planning and advisory services tailored to your financial goals.
What is Capital Gain?
Capital Gain is the profit earned when you sell a capital asset at a price higher than its purchase cost. It is divided into:
Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG):
- 
	Asset held for a short period (e.g., less than 24 months for property, less than 12 months for listed shares). 
- 
	Taxed at regular slab rates (or special rate in case of listed shares/equity mutual funds at 15%). 
Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG):
- 
	Asset held for a longer period (e.g., more than 24 months for property, more than 12 months for listed shares). 
- 
	Taxed at concessional rates (10% or 20% with indexation, depending on the asset).
