What is the process of selling the shares?

  • Exercised Options will be credited to your Demat account.
  • Once the shares get credited to the Demat account, you can sell them in the secondary stock market.
  • For this, you need to engage a registered broker.
  • You may instruct the broker to sell the shares vis their own trading terminal or you can do it yourself through the broker’s online trading platform.   
  • Note that, if you sell the shares within one year from the date of purchase for a profit, it attracts a short term Capital Gains Tax.
