23 June 2016 Hello Ma'am,

Before computing the Capital Gain Tax on Mutual Fund/Shares first we have to calculate the holding period to identify the Short Term /Lon term gain/loss.

In case of Shares/Mutual Fund, If period of holding is less than 12 Months then it will be short term capital gain/loss otherwise it will be long term capital gain/loss.

Treatment of Long Term Capital Gain/Loss:-
1. If we have paid Security Transaction Tax (STT) then the amount of Capital Gain/loss will be expected under section 10(38) of Income Tax Act, 1961.
2. If STT has not been paid then rate of tax will be 20% (in case of Indextion Benefit is given) otherwise it will be 10%.

Note: - Long term capital gain is exempted from tax even in that it should be shown under Income Tax Returns.

Treatment of short Term Capital Gain/Loss:-
1. If STT has been paid on the same the rate of tax of the same will be 15% under section 111A.
2. If STT has not been paid then normal rate of tax will apply.
