When it comes to investing, the name of the stock market comes second to none as many investors or traders actively participate in trading and achieve profit from it.
Investors are of two types: first are those who hold equity investment for more than 1 year and show their income as LTCG or long term capital gains. The second type of investors is those who hold equity investments for more than 1 day or less than 1 year.
There are several types of investors in every financial market, each of them applies its strategy to achieve its financial goals. Hence, the ROI generated by each investor can vary from one to another.
Hence, taxation applied to people who depend on salaried income can be easily calculated. However, the taxation applied on trading income can be a bit complicated as compared to the former one.
Since the income generated from trading varies from trader to trader, taxation law cannot be applied uniformly to all the traders. Like income, the amount of tax applied can also be variable.
If you are new to the trading world, understanding taxation seems to be a difficult word for you.
Here, we will explore all the aspects of taxation that help you to understand tax on different trading styles.
Taxation in trading can be classified into four types: Long term capital gain, Short Term Capital Gain, Speculative Business Income, Non-Speculative Business Income.
All the types of taxation along with their features and benefits are mentioned below; read them carefully:
Long term capital gains are a type of tax levied by the government of India if an investment is held by a trader for a specific period. For instance, if a trader is seeking long term investment and parks its investment for 1 year or longer than it, any purchase or sales profit from the investment comes under long term capital gain tax.
If we talk about equity investment, Long term capital gains are exempted under section 10 of the Income Tax Act. In such cases, the profits are entirely tax-free. However, this is only applicable under certain conditions.
For instance, if you make any transaction via a recognized exchange and sell your equities within the country, long term capital gain taxes are exempted.
As said above, the tax implications for long term investors can be applicable under certain conditions.
If your equity investments cross the threshold of over 1 lakh in a financial year, the tax will be charged at 10%.
In short term capital gains, the duration of holding securities is less than 1 year. According to the norms, the duration of investment in short term capital gains can be held for longer than a day but shorter than a year.
The tax implications on trading income via equity, any capital gains generated by selling a stock leads to a tax deduction of a profit of 15%.
However, your short term capital gains will never be taxed at a standard 15% rate unless your total taxable income is below Rs 2.5 lakhs.
Are capital losses carry forward in long term capital gain and short term capital gains?
Since long term gains are tax-free, they do not carry forward long term capital losses.
Short term capital gains are taxable and therefore they can be carried forward for a year of 8 years from the financial year during which the losses occur.
One of the simplest ways of filing your capital gain returns is to show them as a part of your income statement. However, there are cases where your profits/losses from share trading cant come under income tax returns.
This happens to the individuals, who are traders by profession or most of their equities are held as a stock in trade; in such cases, the profits or losses from the stock trading can be counted as business income and the returns generated on it must be filed accordingly.
To distinguish between normal capital gains and capital gains as a business income, the Income Tax has set certain parameters that are explained below:
If the volume of share trading transaction of any individual exceeds Rs 2 Crore in any FY then the individuals are required to get an audit and then the audit may insist them to file this income as a business income.
Another way of differentiating capital gains and capital gains as business income is the profit threshold.
The income tax department has set a fixed profit percentage (6%) to identify income coming from equities.
If the profit percentage is below 6% of the total volume traded, then the income comes from stocks and shares can be considered as business income rather than normal capital gains.
Business income that comes under intraday equity trading is considered speculative. It is defined as the income generated through trades in which securities are bought and sold within the same day.
As the capital gain tax is taxed at a specific percentage; there are no rates for speculative business income. Instead, your speculative business income is taxed alongside your tax income according to section 43 of the Income Tax Act.
This means, if you have salaried income along with speculative business income, the tax will apply to your combined income.
Business income that comes from trading futures and options on the recognized exchanges are considered as non-speculative business income. Just like speculative business income, the income generated from F&O also added with your other income sources. As a result, the appropriate tax rate slab is applied to your overall income.
Traders are very well informed about the market condition, stock’s value, company performances, similarly they also need to be informed about the tax rate slab applied to the different trading styles.
This information is not only apt for traders as well as for newbies who are seeking investment in stocks for the very first time.

There are different types of investment stocks available in the stock market such as debt fund stocks, mid cap stocks, growth stocks and more.
Many investors invest in these stocks to get high returns with limited investments. However, there are other stocks too, that give investors regular payments against investment amounts. Such stocks are known as dividend-paying stocks.
Investing in dividend stocks is a great choice as it allows investors to meet their cash requirements as well as gives them a chance to see their stock value grow upward in the future.
Here, we will discuss everything about dividend-paying stocks and the rules you should follow while investing in them.
Before, getting started, let’s get acquainted with the term “Dividend”.
Dividends can be cash, reward or anything that a company gives to its shareholders against the shares they bought of a company.
Dividends can be issued in several forms such as cash payments, stocks or other forms.
A company’s dividend is decided by its board of directors and it requires the shareholders’ approval as well.
A company does not need to declare its dividend. It is a part of a company's profit that the company distributes to its shareholders.
Before investing in dividend stocks, it is important to do a stock market research and get detailed knowledge about a company and the sector in which it operates. This is because the potentiality of a dividend stock is highly dependent on the company’s fundamentals and the sector that it belongs to.
For instance, if the company operates in a volatile sector that is highly fluctuating in nature such as energy, it would affect the dividend price for sure.
Therefore, be careful before investing in these stocks. Also, don't forget to check the basic details of a company (stock value, past performance) and the risks associated with it.
Investing in the companies that give consistent dividend payout is always considered a better option. Consistent dividend payments is a sign of a strong company. This means, the company is constantly growing and has a strong background with long term stability.
Dividend incomes generated by these companies are consistent. Even if the dividend increases by a small number per year, they can give you incremented results due to compounding effects.
It is important to check the debt ratio of a company before opting for dividend stocks. If a company pays a good dividend payment despite having a high debt; then check the company details carefully.
They do so just to keep their stocks valuable. Hence, always check the debt market ratio of a company as the lower the ratio is; the more stable the company is or vice versa.
If the debt market ratio of a company hasn’t decreased with the time despite paying a high dividend, it would be ideal to not invest in such stocks as the debt impacts the value of the stocks which also affect the dividend payments in the future.
Many of you might think the stocks that offer a high dividend yield can be great stock. However, this is not so true. Sometimes, a high dividend yield is a way to mislead you.
Companies that pay a high dividend yield may be a sign of underperforming security and therefore it is of no use. Therefore, don't make decisions that completely depend on high dividend yield. While doing so, kindly check other factors too (debt market cap ratio, stock’s value, performance, future growth etc).
The payout ratio tells the company’s ability to support dividend payouts. If the ratio exceeds 1 then the company pays more dividend to its shareholders than its earnings which makes it ambiguous about the company’s asset value and long term stability.
The following steps can be used to identify the potential dividend stocks:
Step1: Check out the profit and loss of a company.
Step2: Check the earnings per share of a company i.e. whether it has grown in the 5 years or not.
Step3: Measure the growth of dividends per share in the last 5 years.
Step4: Compare if EPS growth and dividend per share growth are similar.
If EPS and Dividends per share growth are similar then the company is trustworthy, know why?
Which is a better place to invest in; dividend yield stocks or Fixed Deposits? Many investors find FDs is the better place to invest while stock market lovers give preference to good dividend yield stocks than FDs.
Although both the instruments provide better returns to investors, the difference may depend on the investors.
Dividend stocks offer three benefits to the investors:
First: Although the starting yield on the dividend is slow compared to FD’s interest, it improves with time. Also, good dividend stocks provide stable yield income in the short term.
Second: Dividend stocks provide you with long term gain. Dividend per share will also improve yield on the dividend. Another advantage is: as the share price will also improve with time which provides a double profit for the investors.
If we talk about Fixed Deposits, then the interest rate is fixed. Also, it will never grow with time.
Dividend-paying stocks are the additional ones issued to the shareholders as a reward. Nevertheless, dividend-paying stocks provide consistent returns to their shareholders, one should not invest in such stocks without getting complete information about the company. Just because the company pays a high dividend doesn't necessarily mean it has good worth. Therefore, it would be ideal if you check the company’s annual report, earning growth, consistency of dividend payouts before investing in such stocks.
The Ministry of Company Affairs (MCA) has asked market controller SEBI to fix the principles for the listing of new businesses. It has requested SEBI to pull out some of the concessions given in the listing to new companies.
SEBI has proposed to diminish this cutoff from 70% to 40 per cent. However, if the startup is not making a profit, it can also be listed on the mainboard, provided the institutional investors hold a 75 per cent stake in the company. However, many startups have been seeking relief in the institutional investors' stake of 75 percent.
However, the MCA became more lenient and made the limit to be up to 50 per cent, to which SEBI agreed. There was no reaction to messages shipped off SEBI and MCA in regards to this matter.
If you invest 20 thousand rupees in a scheme of a mutual fund. Its NAV is 200 rupees. In this case, you will get 100 units.
How 20,000 divided by 200 gives you 100. these units are a result of investing in the scheme. Now suppose that in a year the NAV rises from Rs 200 to Rs 300 and you decide to sell it. Now you will get 30,000 rupees.
MMC i.e. Asset Management Companies (mutual fund houses that run schemes) will now have to pay 20% of their fund managers' salaries in units of the same scheme.
Of which he is the fund manager. In such a situation, the funds of the fund managers would also be invested in those schemes. So the performance of the schemes can be improved. The salary of all the employees of the fund house will be paid similarly.
These units will be secured for a base time of three years and workers would not have the option to redeem such units. On account of infringement of a set of principles, misrepresentation, and gross carelessness, the units will be mauled back, and the redeemed sum will be credited to the plan.
The fund manager ensures that the investors keep getting good returns from the fund. The fund manager is also responsible for making the wrong decisions.
The fund manager trying to get higher returns by breaking the benchmark of its fund Suppose last year you got a return of 10 per cent, then the next year there is an attempt of 13 per cent. Also, the returns of the benchmark index i.e. Sensex-Nifty, Midcap, and Small-cap are compared with the returns of the fund.
SEBI has taken this choice. On the off chance that in a fiduciary business when senior staff has their investments it makes them oversee cash all the more capably. If something has turned out badly, it solidly falls on the shoulders of these folks so the fund managers who have the cash ought to oversee it with the full obligation.
In such a situation, the expectation of getting more investors will increase.
