Should The Government Cut LTCG & STT? Ajay Srivastava’s Take | Samvat 2082 Special

Should the government cut LTCG tax or STT to support investors? Ajay Srivastava, MD, Dimensions Corporate Finance Services, explains why making profits should be the priority for Indian investors amid market volatility. He says the current 12.5% long-term capital gains tax is not his primary concern, arguing that investors need to generate returns before worrying about taxes. The discussion examines whether tax relief is necessary and how stock market taxation affects retail investors and financial institutions. The key takeaway is that improving investment returns matters more than reducing taxes on profits that investors have yet to make.
