PHDCCI has recommended abolishing Long Term Capital Gains tax and modifying short-term capital gains taxes. The chamber suggests increasing the holding period for long-term investments to attract genuine investors. It emphasizes that current tax structures discourage investment due to double taxation on equities.

Why this matters

Regulatory and legal changes affect how businesses file, pay and stay compliant. Even small amendments can change deadlines, disclosures or penalties, so it pays to understand the context before acting.

What to watch

Track the official notification or judgment for exact wording and effective dates. If your business is directly affected, review your filings, contracts and internal timelines with a qualified professional.
