Union Budget 2025-26 (Full) + Finance Bill, 2025
VIII. Amendment of Definition of ‘Capital Asset’
Section 2(14) of the Act defines the term “capital asset” to include property of any kind held by an assessee, whether or not connected with his business or profession, but does not include any stockin- trade or personal assets as provided in the definition. The securities held by a Foreign Institutional Investor which has invested in such securities in accordance with the regulations made under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (15 of 1992) are also defined as capital assets.
2. There is some uncertainty in characterization of income arising from transaction in securities as to whether it is capital gain or business income for investment funds (specified in clause (a) of Explanation 1 to section 115UB in the Act).
3. With a view of providing certainty in respect of the above, it is proposed to amend the Act to provide that any security held by investment funds referred to in Section 115UB which has invested in such security in accordance with the regulations made under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 would be treated as capital asset only so that any income arising from transfer of such security would be in the nature of capital gain.
4. This amendment will take effect from the 1st day of April, 2026 and shall accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2026-27 and subsequent assessment years.
[Clause 3]
