  1. Gold ETF sold before 01.04.2025 : 20% with indexation.( if held for more than 36 months)
  2. Gold ETF sold after 01.04.2025 , tax will be at applicable slab rate irrespective of holding period.

For better understanding read the article on Tax Guru :

If a gold ETF is sold before 1 April 2025, long-term capital gains (held more than 36 months) are taxed at 20% with indexation. Sales after April 1, 2025 are taxed in your applicable income tax slab, regardless of the holding period.
