22 August 2011 Incase of shares Long term asset means which you held more than 12 months. if you held less than 12months that is short term capital asset. for other assets 36 months

Dividend which you received as a share holder of the company and company pays from the profit earned

Capital gain means which you getting on sale of share to other person on a price exceeds which you purchase
