What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A report by SBI Research suggested that the government could abolish Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax across investor categories without significantly disrupting its fiscal consolidation plans. The report noted that the average return of the Nifty over the last three years was only 0.5 per cent, and cumulative foreign institutional investor outflows totaled Rs 4.8 lakh crore. Furthermore, the report recommended raising the annual LTCG exemption threshold from Rs 1.25 lakh to Rs 2 lakh and linking it to inflation.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The report estimates that the revenue loss from scrapping the tax would be limited to Rs 40,000-50,000 crore in FY28, which amounts to 0.1-0.2 per cent of GDP. This suggests the government could absorb the hit while maintaining its fiscal glide path. The proposal aims to provide greater relief to retail investors and potentially improve investor sentiment.
