Capital asset classification revised: holding period thresholds now determine short term versus long term gains across asset classes. Classification of capital assets for capital gains hinges on holding period thresholds distinguishing short term and long term status. Specific categories-listed securities, equity oriented fund units (subject to prescribed equity exposure measures), certain zero coupon bonds, specified fund units and market linked debentures-are governed by provisos that treat them as short term despite holding period. Unlisted shares and immovable property have distinct shorter thresholds for short term treatment. Amendments affecting Fixed Maturity Plans require longer holding to obtain long term status, and extensions or roll overs affect tax treatment for unit holders.
