A capital gain is a profit made out of selling a non-

stocks etc.

In India longterm capital gains (equity held for more than
one year are exempted from tax if they are sold through a
recognised stock exchange and STT is paid on the sale.

and short term capital gains are taxed at 15%(equity) and
can be reduced against short term capital loss and others
are taxed at the same rate as any other income.
