Description

This study examines the short-term market response of Equity-Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) to the announcement of the Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax during the 2018 Union Budget presentation in India. Employing an event study methodology, we analyze the cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) of a sample of 104 ELSS schemes to assess the impact of the tax announcement on investor sentiment and NAV movements.
