AI Insights

DhanRadar AI

Holding equity past 12 months moves the gain from 20% short-term to 12.5% long-term (above the ₹1.25 L yearly exemption) — a big difference.

This is an estimate of ₹41,600 at FY 2025-26 rates. Splitting a sale across two financial years can use the ₹1.25 L equity exemption twice — one of many planning ideas to discuss with a professional.
