I sold a certain number of shares of an unlisted company in September 2016. These shares were purchased by me in March 2014. What is the tax implications if there is a gain arising on proposed transfer of the said shares?

As per the third proviso to Section 2(42A) newly inserted by Finance Act 2016, the shares of unlisted company shall be considered as short-term capital asset if they are held by the assessee for a period of not more than 24 months before the date of its transfer. Therefore in the instant case, since the shares of the unlisted company are held for a period of more than 24 months, the gain on sale of such shares shall be taxable as long term capital gains at the rate of 20% (with cost indexation benefit).
