Income Tax Return (ITR) Filing for Capital Gains

In case you are selling any of your assets like shares, mutual funds, gold, bonds, or property, the profit you are earning here is called capital gains. This income must be reported correctly while filing your Income Tax Return (ITR). There are many people who find capital gains tax confusing because of the rules which are different for every type of asset, duration, and the tax benefits you can avail. Even a small error can lead to extra tax penalties, or notices from the Income Tax Department. At Patron Accounting, we make sure that your capital gains filing is simple and hassle free. We calculate your gains accurately, adjust losses properly and ensure that your ITR is filed correctly and on time, so you stay fully compliant and stress-free.

What Are Capital Gains?

TypeMeaning & Tax
Capital AssetsStocks, mutual funds, real estate, gold, bonds, cryptocurrency, artwork, and any sort of collectibles.
Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG)Assets sold within short holding periods are taxed as per slab rates, except equity STCG taxed at 15%.
Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG)Assets held longer, like the equity LTCG above ₹1 lakh taxed at 10%, others taxed at 20% with indexation.
