What happened
SEBI proposed a rollback of the long-term capital gains tax. Benchmark indices jumped nearly 2%, and Reliance Industries rose 11.6% amid a strong market response.
Why it matters
A lower tax burden on long-term gains could support equity-market sentiment in India if the proposal advances. The proposal is not a decision, so its effect may fade if it does not progress.
Global impact
No global-market reaction is reported. As a domestic tax-policy proposal, its main effect is likely to be on Indian equity sentiment; any wider effect could come through perceptions of foreign flows if the proposal advances.
