FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the grandfathering provision?+

For equity/equity MF purchased before Jan 31, 2018, the cost of acquisition is the higher of (a) original purchase price or (b) FMV on Jan 31, 2018 — but cannot exceed the actual sale price. This prevents tax on pre-LTCG era gains.

What is the LTCG exemption limit?+

From FY 2024-25 (Budget 2024), the LTCG exemption on equity and equity MF is ₹1.25 lakh per year, up from the earlier ₹1 lakh. Gains above this are taxed at 12.5% without indexation.

What is LTCG for debt mutual funds?+

From April 2023, debt mutual funds no longer qualify for LTCG benefits. All gains are taxed at income slab rates. LTCG at 20% with indexation applies only for units purchased before April 1, 2023.

How do I find FMV on Jan 31, 2018?+

For listed stocks, FMV is the highest price traded on NSE/BSE on January 31, 2018. For mutual funds, it is the NAV on that date. Historical NAVs are available on AMFI website.
