Profit being taxedThe profit on a sale — what you sold for, less what you paid. Only the profit is taxed, never the full sale amount.Rs. 1,000,000
Tax on itRs. 150,000
You keepWhat you actually keep from this sale once the tax has come off.Rs. 850,000

You held them for 10 months.

How this was worked out

Rs. 3,000,000 sale less Rs. 2,000,000 cost is Rs. 1,000,000 profit. 15% of that is Rs. 150,000, leaving you Rs. 850,000.

NCCPL takes this off and gives you a certificate to file with your return. NCCPL works from its own trade records and allows a small standard amount for costs, so its figure can differ a little from this one.

What you pay, by when you bought

Your rate is fixed by the day you bought the shares. This is the whole table.

Questions about tax on share profits

The things people ask most about capital gains tax on the stock exchange.

Is the tax on the whole sale amount?

No. It is only on your profit — what you sold for less what you paid. If you sold Rs. 3,000,000 of shares that cost you Rs. 2,000,000, the tax is worked out on Rs. 1,000,000.

Does this get added to my salary income?

No. Investment profit is taxed on its own, at its own rate, and is not added to your salary or business income. It does not push your salary into a higher slab.

Does being a filer change what I pay?

Yes, on most purchases the rate doubles if you are not on the Active Taxpayer List. There was a window where recent buys were charged the same either way, but the Finance Act 2026 removed it from 1 July 2026.

What if I made a loss?

There is no tax on a loss. A loss on investments can only be set against profit on other investments — not against salary or business income — and can be carried forward for up to three years.

Which rate applies to my shares?

It depends only on when you bought them. Bought before 1 July 2013, nothing is charged. Between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2022, a flat 12.5%. Between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2024, the rate drops the longer you held them, from 15% down to nothing after six years. Bought on or after 1 July 2024, a flat 15%.

Does holding shares longer reduce my tax?

Only for shares bought between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2024. For anything bought on or after 1 July 2024 the rate is a flat 15% whether you held it a week or a decade.

Do I have to pay this myself?

NCCPL works it out from its trade records, collects it through your broker, and issues you a certificate after the year ends. You file that certificate with your return, and it is treated as conclusive proof of the figure.

Is dividend income included here?

No. A dividend is a payment from the company’s profits and is taxed separately when it is paid. This page is only about the profit you make from selling the shares themselves.

This is an estimate for your own planning. NCCPL works out the official figure from its own trade records and issues you a certificate each year — use that when you file. This page is not tax advice.
