Common questions
When are RSUs taxed?
Twice: when they vest, as salary, and when you sell, as capital gains.
What is the value at vesting?
Shares × market value on the vesting date, in rupees. Your employer adds it to your salary and deducts TDS.
How are foreign RSUs taxed on sale?
Held over 24 months: 12.5% on the gain. Held less: at your slab rate.
And Indian listed RSUs?
Held over 12 months: 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year. Held less: 20%.
What is my cost for capital gains?
The value at vesting, not zero, because that amount was already taxed as salary.
