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.
The selloff has continued in 2026, with some of the headwinds continuing. In light of this, it remains to be seen what policy and tax measures the Government will announce in the Budget on February 1 to bring back FPI flows.
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. When STT was first introduced, long term capital gains tax was abolished. Progressively, the Government has increased the rate of STCG tax and also introduced LTCG tax while continuing to levy STT.
