Capital gain is the net profit made from selling capital assets, such as real estate, bonds, investments, etc. The capital gain tax is a direct tax imposed on the profits earned from the sale of capital assets.
The capital assets are of two types: the short-term and the long-term, which are distinguished by their holding period. When sold, they are termed as long-term capital gains (LTCG) and short-term capital gains (STCG). LTCG and STCG both have different taxation provisions under the Income Tax Act 1961.
