Capital Gains Tax Advisory
Budget 2024 changed nearly every capital gains rule — rates, holding periods, indexation. If your last advice predates July 2024, it is probably wrong now. We compute your gains on the current rate card and advise on timing before you sell.

Overview
What capital gains advisory actually covers
Capital gains tax applies to profit on sale of shares, mutual funds, property, gold, and other capital assets.
Since 23 July 2024: listed equity pays 20% STCG (held 12 months or less) and 12.5% LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh per year.
Property and most other assets use a 24-month threshold, with LTCG at 12.5% and no indexation for new purchases.
Capital losses can be set off and carried forward — but only if the return claiming them is filed on time.
Benefits
Why investors take capital gains advice from us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Current rates, correctly applied
Budget 2024 rewrote the rate card — 20% STCG and 12.5% LTCG on listed equity, new holding periods, indexation gone for most assets. We compute with the current law, not last year's memory.
Holding periods mapped
Knowing whether a sale is short-term or long-term changes the tax dramatically. We map every holding to the right period under the post-July-2024 rules.
All asset classes, one computation
Equity, property, mutual funds, unlisted shares, gold — each has its own rate and period now. We handle the full mix in one computation.
Sell-timing advice
Selling this March or next April? The timing of a sale can shift which financial year's exemption and rates apply. We advise before you sell, not after.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Capital gains tax process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
1. Classify the asset and holding period
Assets are classified as short-term or long-term based on the holding period: listed equity and equity mutual funds become long-term after 12 months, and most other assets (property, gold, debt funds) after 24 months. The classification decides which tax rate applies.
2. Compute the capital gain
The sale consideration is reduced by the cost of acquisition (with indexation where applicable), cost of improvement, and transfer expenses such as brokerage and registration charges, to arrive at the taxable capital gain.
3. Check exemption eligibility
Where a long-term capital gains exemption is available (for example, reinvesting sale proceeds in a new residential property or specified bonds), the eligibility conditions are checked and the exemption claimed so it does not fail later scrutiny.
4. Report the gain in your return
The gain is reported under the correct head in the income-tax return, with separate disclosures for listed equity taxed at special rates and other gains taxed as per the schedule.
5. Pay advance tax and file
Any advance tax due on the capital gain is paid in the relevant quarter so interest charges do not accumulate. The full assessment and filing wrap-up is typically completed within 7–10 working days of receiving all documents.

Advice on the new regime, not the old one: The July 2024 changes are recent enough that plenty of advisers still quote the old rates. We work from the current schedule — 20/12.5, the ₹1.25 lakh exemption, the indexation grandfathering.

Listed equity and equity funds: 20% if held 12 months or less, 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh per year if held longer. Property: 24-month threshold, 12.5% without indexation. These are the post-July-2024 rates.
12 months for listed equity and equity-oriented funds; 24 months for property and most other assets. These thresholds were simplified in Budget 2024.
For most assets, indexation is gone. But property bought before 23 July 2024 keeps a choice: 12.5% without indexation or 20% with indexation, whichever is lower. This grandfathering is worth checking carefully.
Short-term losses set off against both short and long-term gains; long-term losses only against long-term gains. Unused losses carry forward for 8 years — but only if the return is filed on time.
Yes — the ₹1.25 lakh annual LTCG exemption on equity resets every financial year. Many investors deliberately book gains up to that limit each March. It is fully legal, and we can plan it with you.
Tax on buyback proceeds now sits with the shareholder, and debt fund taxation changed in 2023. If your knowledge is from before these changes, assume something has moved — ask before you act.
