LTCG, STCG & STT in India
-
IN 2025, FOREIGN portfolio investors sold about $18 billion of shares amidst stretched valuations, subdued earnings, geopolitical worries and concerns over steep US tariffs on Indian exports.

CURRENT SCENARIO
Globally, India is one of the very few countries that imposes CGT as well as STT on foreign portfolio investments in listed securities.
