IN WHICH SUB SCHEDULE UNDER CG SCHEDULE SHOULD I REPORT GOLD ETF STCG? WHETHER STT PAID AND UNPAID, GOLD ETF GAINS SHOULD BE REPORTED AT SAME PLACE?
24 June 2026
Where to report: Report the STCG under Schedule CG in the specific row for "Securities/Units covered under Section 50AA" (if purchased on or after April 1, 2023) or under "Others" (if purchased before April 1, 2023).
STT Paid vs. Unpaid: Both must be reported in the same place. Because Gold ETFs are not equity-oriented units, paying STT does not alter their tax treatment or grant any special concessional rates; they are uniformly taxed at your regular income tax slab rates.
