Capital Gain is the gain that accrues to you in the event of sale of a capital asset.
Before you understand capital gain, it is better you understand Capital Asset
Long Term Capital Asset: When a capital asset is held for a period of more than 36 months (12 months in case of shares or mutual funds or securities), then the asset can be classified as long term capital asset
Short Term Capital Asset: When a capital asset is held for a period of less than 36 months (less than 12 months in case of shares or mutual funds or securities), then the asset can be classified as short term capital asset.
Gain / Loss arising on sale of Long Term Capital Asset is Long Term Capital Gain / Loss and Gain / Loss arising on sale of Short Term Capital Asset is Short Term Capital Gain / Loss
