Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether interest paid on a loan taken to purchase listed shares can be capitalised as part of the acquisition cost. The aim is to reduce capital gains tax upon selling the shares. It touches upon how long-term and short-term capital gains are calculated and suggests treating the activity as business income to claim loan interest.

Calculation of Tax Long term Capital Gain = The gain is added to the total taxable income of the assessee and the tax is calculated on the total taxable income as per income tax slabs. 

Short-term capital gain = Sale price –  Expenses on Sale minus the Purchase price 

Treat it as business income and claim interest of loan.
