What u mean by Notional Capital Gain ?

If the Shares are transferred which is kept for more than 12 months & STT paid on the transaction, then LTCG will be Exempt. If sold upto 12 month then STCG will be taxed @ 15 %.

Since your gains are notional, you can pay notional tax.

Ya Mr Adarsh Is Absolutely Correct As Per section 10 Clause (38) It Is Exempt If STT Is paid and is LTCG

But If Its STCG than 15%

mohammad, he is asking about NOTIONAL, which means they are just in brain. He has not realised any profits. SO no tax payable.

Are u referring to Deep Discount Bonds?? But that is again Actual gain in Market value.

Income on DDB = Valuation as on last day of FY (31ST March 2010) - Valuation as on last day of previous FY (31ST March 2009)

This Income is chargeable as Interest Income in case the asset is held as investment and as Business Income if its held as a current asset

its very subjective case.. there is no notional gain or loss unless there is a specific provision for the same.. as the e.g. given by ravati, STCG will arise but in other cases it will not arise E.g conversion of shares into stock in trade, in that case there is no capital gain
