So say one has 100 ESOPs which a person exercised and converted to say 1000 shares in say Jan 2024
Now if IPO happens in aug 2024, what will be the long term capital gains tax rate for these shares.
Will the tax rate change if one sells them say in Feb 2025, sept 2025 , Feb 2028 considering tax policy, tax rates to remain unchanged?
Less than 12 months so it will be short term capital gains - and equity shares sold on a stock exchange so 15% flat tax rate.
If sold after Feb2025, it becomes long term. If the gain exceeds 1 lakh then taxed at 10% flat tax rate
Making some progress .. gg 😁
Thanks for the validation 😛 @001

Say you have ESOPs in a company. Once the company goes public, is there a holding period applicable for the esop before which it can not be sold? Like 1 month/3 months/6 months holding periods?
Can someone also explain how the conversio...
Primarily, my question targets startups which went ipo where you may joined when it was a private company and later it went public and you liquidates it.
