To rationalise the complex capital gains structure prevailing till July 22, 2024, the government introduced a simplified capital gains tax regime from July 23, 2024. The capital assets that are now taxed under the capital gains regime are divided into two categories — a) listed securities and b) unlisted securities and non-financial securities.
