Whether LTCG exemption could be claimed for listed shares sold through private arrangement / inter se transfer among promoter group through off market method?
If not possible let me know other alternative ways to claim LTCG.

For getting exemption of LTCG.- the requirement is payment of Securities Transaction Tax. In off market transaction if STT is not payable, such LTCG becomes taxable. . The best way is to enter the transactions in a recognised stock exchange.

You may get deduction of LTCG by investing in mode specified under section 54EC.
Investments can be made in specified bonds of NHAI or REC within 6 months of date of transfer of shares. These bonds are redeemable after 3 years. The maximum amount that can be claimed as deduction is Rs. 50 lacs.
