Dear Investors,
As we approach the end of the financial year on March 31st, it is a good time to review your portfolio not only for growth, but also for tax efficiency.
If you have booked profits this year (Short Term or Long Term), you may have a tax liability. However, many investors miss a simple and legal strategy that can reduce this tax: Tax Loss Harvesting.

What is Tax Loss Harvesting?
It means selling underperforming stocks in your portfolio at a loss. This loss can be used to reduce the tax on your profitable trades.
This helps you legally lower your taxable gains and keep more money invested for future growth.
How I will help you:
1. Portfolio Audit
I will review your current holdings and identify stocks where losses can be used for tax adjustment.
2. Strategic Selling
We will decide which stocks can be sold to offset your STCG or LTCG.
3. Rebalancing
After selling, I will guide you whether to buy the stock again or move the money into better quality stocks with stronger potential.
How Much Can You Actually Save? (3 Real-World Examples)
Tax Loss Harvesting works like a discount on your tax bill. Here are some examples based on portfolio size.
Scenario 1: Small Portfolio (Invested: ₹5 Lakhs)
Realized STCG: ₹50,000
Tax due @ 20% = ₹10,000
The Move:
You sell a weak stock currently at a ₹30,000 loss.
New Taxable Gain:
₹50,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹20,000
New Tax Due:
₹4,000
Instant Savings: ₹6,000
Your ₹2,000 fee is recovered 3 times.
Scenario 2: Moderate Portfolio (Invested: ₹25 Lakhs)
Realized LTCG: ₹3,25,000
After exemption:
₹3,25,000 − ₹1,25,000 exemption = ₹2,00,000 taxable
Tax due @ 12.5% = ₹25,000
The Move:
You have a slow or stagnant stock with a ₹1,50,000 loss.
New Taxable Gain:
₹3,25,000 − ₹1,50,000 = ₹1,75,000
Exemption:
First ₹1,25,000 is tax-free
New Tax Due:
12.5% of ₹50,000 = ₹6,250
Instant Savings: ₹18,750
Your ₹1,000 fee as a paid client becomes almost 18 times the value.
Scenario 3: High Capital Portfolio (Invested: ₹1 Crore+)
Realized STCG: ₹10,00,000
Tax due @ 20% = ₹2,00,000
The Move:
We identify ₹4,00,000 losses from earlier positions and harvest them.
New Taxable Gain:
₹10,00,000 − ₹4,00,000 = ₹6,00,000
New Tax Due:
₹1,20,000
Instant Savings: ₹80,000
Expert Move:
We can also redeploy that ₹4 Lakhs into a high-quality value stock from our watchlist.
The Fee Structure:
For New Leads / Future Clients:
₹2,000 (Fixed)
For Existing Paid Clients:
₹1,000
Flat 50% discount as a small thank you for your continued trust since 2017.

To ensure smooth execution and settlement before the financial year closes, we need to finalize all harvesting trades by March 20th.
