Whether LTCG exemption could be claimed for listed shares sold through private arrangement / inter se transfer among promoter group through off market method?

If not possible let me know other alternative ways to claim LTCG.

04 February 2012 For getting exemption of LTCG.- the requirement is payment of Securities Transaction Tax. In off market transaction if STT is not payable, such LTCG becomes taxable.
.
The best way is to enter the transactions in
a recognised stock exchange.

04 February 2012 You may get deduction of LTCG by investing in mode specified under section 54EC.

Investments can be made in specified bonds of NHAI or REC within 6 months of date of transfer of shares. These bonds are redeemable after 3 years. The maximum amount that can be claimed as deduction is Rs. 50 lacs.
