No move to scrap LTCG tax on equities: Finance Minister Pankaj Chaudhary tells Lok Sabha
The Indian government informed Parliament that there is no current move to abolish long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax on equities for retail or domestic investors, ending speculation. The minister also clarified that the tax rate for domestic investors is 12.5%, matching that for FPIs in equities, while the government has rationalised tax treatment for FPIs in government securities to align with global standards.
