Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any lock-in period for NSE unlisted shares?
The lock-in period for NSE Unlisted Shares differs based on the investor category, as per SEBI regulations:
● Venture Capital Funds and Foreign Venture Capital Investors (FVCIs):
A lock-in period of 6 months from the date of acquisition of the shares.
● Alternative Investment Funds – Category II (AIF-II): No lock-in period is applicable.
● Other investors (including retail investors, high net-worth individuals (HNIs), and body corporates):
A lock-in period of 6 months from the date of IPO listing of NSE.
These norms were introduced by SEBI in August 2021, reducing the earlier lock-in requirement from one year to six months. The change was aimed at improving liquidity and encouraging investor participation in companies preparing for public listings. Since then, interest in pre-IPO investments has increased, with investors exploring opportunities to participate in companies ahead of their potential listing.
How much long term capital gains tax do I have to pay on NSE unlisted shares?
Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on Unlisted Shares in India arise when such shares are sold after being held for a period of more than two years. The key aspects of LTCG taxation on NSE unlisted shares are outlined below:
1. Tax Rate
Earlier, LTCG on unlisted shares was taxed at 20% with indexation benefits. However, as per Union Budget 2024, the tax structure has been revised. For transfers made on or after 23rd July 2024, LTCG on unlisted shares is taxed at a flat rate of 12.5%.
2. Indexation Benefit
Previously, investors could avail indexation benefits to adjust the purchase price for inflation, thereby reducing taxable gains.
This indexation benefit has been removed under Budget 2024 for unlisted shares transferred on or after 23rd July 2024.
3. Importance for Investors
Understanding LTCG taxation is important for both retail investors and High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), as it directly impacts investment returns, exit planning, and overall tax strategy.
4. Calculation Method
For eligible transactions after 23rd July 2024, LTCG will be calculated at a flat tax rate of 12.5% on the capital gains, without indexation.
5. Applicability
LTCG tax is applicable when unlisted shares are held for more than 24 months before being sold.
6. Relevance
These tax provisions are particularly relevant for investors in the unlisted share market who are considering exiting their investments after a long-term holding period.
