26 March 2013 If your Client offers his shares for sale through IPO than he has to pay Long term Capital gain on it and his wife has to pay Short Term Capital gain.

But if they sales it after getting it listed than His gain will be considered as Exempt if he sales through recognized stock exchange paying STT.
And his wife need to pay STCG @ 15% if she sales after being it listed through recognized stock exchange paying STT.
