Dear Sirs, My son is offered ESOP every year which is a non-listed foreign company. They buyback stocks at regular intervals and pay cash to their employees, which is not a part of the CTC. Kindly advise how the capital gain is calculated and it's taxed. Thanks for your kind answer. Prasanna

If sold within one year, they are considered as short-term gains. Currently, long-term gains on listed equity shares are taxed at 10% without indexation on LTCG above Rs 1 lakh, whereas short-term capital gains are taxed at 15%. Consider entire sale value as capital gains.
