Do SGB purchased from secondary market and redeemed prematurely before 31-3-26 will attract LTCG?
But my question is not answered.
The new Budget 2026 tax change means if you bought SGBs on the secondary market, even before 2026, you’ll owe capital gains tax on redemption from April 1 2026 onwards.
