    A LTCG of Rs. 3,50,000 taxed @ 20% with indexation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B LTCG of Rs. 3,50,000 exempt fully Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C LTCG of ₹2,50,000 taxable @10% u/s 112A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D STCG taxed @ 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Business income Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Holding period = 18 months → treated as Long-Term Capital Asset (since listed equity shares held >12 months). • LTCG = Sale – Cost = 8,00,000 – 4,50,000 = ₹3,50,000 • As per Sec. 112A, LTCG on listed equity shares (with STT) is exempt up to ₹1,00,000; balance taxable @ 10% (without indexation). • Taxable LTCG = ₹3,50,000 – 1,00,000 = ₹2,50,000 @ 10% = ₹25,000 + cess. Final: LTCG of ₹2,50,000 taxable @10% u/s 112A.
