If unlisted shares are held for less than 24 months then those shares would attract short-term capital gain tax. Short-term capital gains are taxed as per the investor’s income slab.
If the unlisted shares are held for more than 24 months then those shares would attract long-term capital gain tax. Long-term capital tax is levied at 20% with the benefit of indexation. It is very important to know and comply with the taxation of unlisted shares in India.
