Advanced Fiscal Strategy: Capital Gains Tax and Loan Against Securities
In high-value wealth management and corporate finance, asset liquidation is often a highly tax-inefficient way to raise immediate cash. Selling profitable mutual funds, equities, or bonds to clear a short-term operational gap triggers immediate tax liabilities. Analyzing the intersection of capital gains tax and loan against securities reveals a powerful fiscal optimization strategy. Operating under our core consulting philosophy, We Don’t Sell, We Solve, the Terkar Capital LAS division helps corporate entities and promoters raise necessary capital while protecting their wealth from unnecessary taxation.
Bypassing the Liquidation Tax Trap
When an enterprise redeems equity shares or mutual fund units, it triggers an immediate taxable event under Indian tax laws. Depending on the holding period, the transaction incurs either Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) tax or Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax, along with applicable surcharges and cesses.
Conversely, setting up a structured overdraft line against those exact same assets is a non-taxable event. Because ownership of the securities never transfers out of your name, no asset redemption occurs. Proportional blocks of your portfolio are simply locked under a digital depository lien, allowing you to access institutional liquidity up to ₹100 Crore while legally deferring capital gains tax indefinitely.
