Understanding short-term capital gains tax and how to minimise it
What is STCG?
Short-term capital gains arise from selling equity assets held for under 12 months or property under 24 months. Budget 2024 raised equity STCG to 20%, making it more expensive to trade frequently.
Convert STCG to LTCG
Simply holding equity for 12 complete months converts taxable income from 20% STCG to 12.5% LTCG. On ₹10L gains, that is ₹75,000 saved — just by waiting a few more weeks.
STCG Tax Formula
Tax Loss Harvesting
Before March 31 each year, sell loss-making equity positions to realize STCL. This offsets STCG (and LTCG) from profitable trades. Reinvest in similar assets immediately or the same asset after 30 days.
