whether RBI OR SBI exchange rates to be applied ?

Hi Harry,

RBI rates are for banks and certain specified transaction so we shall use SBI rates which have been actually used by you.

If the individual is a resident and ordinarily resident, the gains arising from the sale of shares would be taxable in India as long or short term capital gains depending on the period for which they are held. Short term capital gains would be taxed at normal rates while long term capital gains would be taxed at special rates.
