to this limit in a financial year are tax-free. gains above this limit are taxed at 12.5% .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tax-gain harvesting works because of this limit. gains can be booked every year within the exempt amount, and the investment can be immediately repurchased .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_tax-gain_harvesting_works\"><\/span><b>how tax-gain harvesting works<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the process is simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 1. identify equity <a href=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/mutual-funds\/all\">mutual fund<\/a> units held for more than 12 months. these qualify for ltcg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 2. calculate the gains. if the gain is less than \u20b91.25 lakh, selling those units incurs no tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 3. sell the units. the gain is realised. no tax is payable if within the limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 4. reinvest the proceeds in the same fund or a similar fund. the units are purchased at the current nav.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the result is that the cost price resets to the new, higher value. future gains will be calculated from this higher base. this reduces the taxable gain when the units are eventually sold .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_tax-loss_harvesting_works\"><\/span><b>how tax-loss harvesting works<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 1. review the portfolio for investments that are at a loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 2. sell the loss-making units. this realises a capital loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step 3. use this loss to offset capital gains from other investments in the same financial year .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the set-off rules are specific.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a short-term capital loss can be set off against both short-term and long-term gains .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a long-term capital loss can be set off only against long-term gains .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unused losses can be carried forward for up to eight assessment years. this is only allowed if the income tax return is filed on time .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when_harvesting_adds_value\"><\/span><b>when harvesting adds value<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the decision to harvest should be based on numbers, not impulse. tax harvesting is only useful when the tax saving exceeds the cost of executing the transaction .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example of gain harvesting. the total ltcg is \u20b91.90 lakh. the taxable amount is \u20b965,000 (\u20b91.90 lakh minus \u20b91.25 lakh). tax at 12.5% is \u20b98,125. if \u20b91.25 lakh of gains are harvested within the exemption limit every year, the eventual tax bill at final redemption will be lower .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example of loss harvesting. the total ltcg is \u20b93 lakh. an stcl of \u20b91 lakh is available. before harvesting, the taxable gain is \u20b91.75 lakh (\u20b93 lakh minus \u20b91.25 lakh). tax is \u20b921,875. after setting off the stcl, the net ltcg is \u20b92 lakh. the taxable gain is \u20b975,000 (\u20b92 lakh minus \u20b91.25 lakh). tax is \u20b99,375 . the tax saving is \u20b912,500.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_harvesting_does_not_do\"><\/span><b>what harvesting does not do<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tax harvesting does not improve investment returns. it does not fix a weak fund or a poor asset allocation . it only changes the tax outcome of transactions the investor would have made anyway, or makes a tactical sell-and-buy-back worthwhile .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"costs_and_risks_to_consider\"><\/span><strong>costs and risks to consider<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exit load. some funds charge an exit load on redemptions within a specified period. this cost reduces the benefit of harvesting .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">holding period reset. when units are repurchased, the holding period resets. if these units are sold within the next 12 months, the gain will be taxed as stcg at 20%, not ltcg at 12.5% .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">market risk. being briefly out of the market exposes the investor to price movements. this risk is usually small if the reinvestment is done quickly, but nav cut-off timing matters .<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kuvera_and_tax_harvesting\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/\">kuvera<\/a> and tax harvesting<\/strong><span

mistakes to avoid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">booking losses without gains. harvesting losses is pointless if there are no taxable gains to offset. the loss may be carried forward, but the benefit is deferred .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ignoring the holding period reset. this is the most overlooked cost. selling and rebuying resets the clock for ltcg qualification. a future gain could be taxed at a higher rate .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using ltcl to offset stcg. this is not allowed. ltcl can only offset ltcg .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">missing the itr filing deadline. losses can only be carried forward if the income tax return is filed on time
