Capital Gain on Sale of Private company's shares

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the tax implications of selling private company shares. A Rs. 15 lakh profit from shares bought in 2021 and sold in 2025 is considered Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG) and is taxable at 12.5% without indexation. Exemption under Section 54F is possible by reinvesting the total sale proceeds into a residential property within specific timeframes: purchase within two years or construction within three years from the sale date.

18 December 2025 Your profit of Rs. 15 lakhs from the sale of unlisted shares is considered a Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG) and is taxable at 12.5% without indexation.
Yes, you are eligible to claim an exemption under Section 54F if you reinvest the sale proceeds into a residential property.

19 December 2025 1. To claim exemption u/s. 54F you need to invest total sales proceed to claim 100% CG/profit exemption. Otherwise the exemption will be in the ratio of amount invested to the total sales proceeds.
2. Actually the investment should be in house property. You can purchase land provided you intend to construct HP over it.
