Unlisted Shares

Tax Glossary Definition

Unlisted Shares

Unlisted shares are equity or preference shares of a company that are not traded on any recognized stock exchange. The taxation of capital gains from their sale differs from listed shares, with long-term capital gains (LTCG) on shares held for more than 24 months taxed at 20% with indexation benefits, while short-term gains are taxed at the applicable slab rate.

Example: Sale of unlisted company shares held for over 2 years results in LTCG taxed at 20% with indexation.
