Namste. I am 52 years old and just list my job . In the recent budget it was announced that there won't be any tax until 12lakhs . I am doing intra trading . Would i hve to pay tax if my annual returns from stocks is less than 12lakhs Thanks in advance

Ans: Income tax and capital gains are totally different taxes. Capital gain does not depend on your income criteria, if you make short term profits ie buy and sell within 365 days the its 20% on your total profits and if you make long term gains that is buy and sell after 365 days then its 12.5% of the total profits, however you get a rebate of 1.25lakhs in long term.
