How's are captial gains taxed post IPO sell off?

So say one has 100 ESOPs which a person exercised and converted to say 1000 shares in say Jan 2024

Now if IPO happens in aug 2024, what will be the long term capital gains tax rate for these shares.

Will the tax rate change if one sells them say in Feb 2025, sept 2025 , Feb 2028 considering tax policy, tax rates to remain unchanged?

Less than 12 months so it will be short term capital gains - and equity shares sold on a stock exchange so 15% flat tax rate.

If sold after Feb2025, it becomes long term. If the gain exceeds 1 lakh then taxed at 10% flat tax rate

Those are taxed similarly like publicly traded shares. Depending on when you sell, you'll be taxed at LTCG or STCG rates. Date would be from Jan 2024 when you got the stocks for your stock options
