India says no proposal to offer long-term tax relief for domestic equity investors

India's finance ministry confirmed no plan to remove equity LTCG tax. This clarification follows recent tax easing for foreign investors in government debt. Domestic investors will continue paying a 12.5% LTCG tax on qualifying equity gains. The exemption for foreign portfolio investors applies to government securities only. This move aims to attract stable, long-term foreign capital into India.
