iCapital Gains Guide

Educational only – ignores surcharge, cess, indexation & specific asset nuances. Always verify with official tax resources.

Computation Logic

Gain = Sell − Buy. Holding Days = (Sell − Buy)/day. If days > 365 → LTCG else STCG. LTCG exemption applied then taxed at 12.5%; STCG taxed at 20% (simplified).

Why It Matters

Understanding tax impact helps plan exits and rebalance decisions more efficiently.

Limitations
  1. Annual aggregation ignored.
  2. No surcharge/cess.
  3. No indexation or set-offs.
