LTCG tax rollback: What investors want from Budget 2027 and will the government deliver?
· Business Today Mkts
Investors are seeking a rollback of the 12.5% long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax on eligible equity gains, along with changes to securities transaction tax (STT), ahead of Budget 2027. However, the government has not announced any tax relief, leaving investors waiting for clarity on potential changes.
The analysis

Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
- Sector exposure: Capital Goods & Engineering, Capital Markets.
