[“short-term capital asset” means a capital asset held by an assessee for not more than thirty-six months immediately preceding the date of its transfer

Provided that in the case of a share held in a company [or any other security listed in a recognised stock exchange in India or a unit of the Unit Trust of India established under the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963 (52 of 1963) or

a unit of a Mutual Fund specified under clause (23D) of section 10]

[or a zero coupon bond], the provisions of this clause shall have effect as if for the words “thirty-six months”, the words “twelve months” had been substituted.]
