Investment in direct equity means that we are investing the money in companies stocks directly and we are getting the voting right into that company. We have heard from many people even from the elder ones of our family that this is gambling but is it actually? How many of us have the same perception let me know in the comment section? Investing in the stock market means that you are buying the stock of that company so the risk is also yours like the owners of the company, if you will enjoy the gains then you have to bear the losses also if any. Investing in shares is accumulating and multiplying wealth, buy low sell high is the crux. Capital gains is another form of the equity market, if you hold your investment till one year then it is long term capital gains which will not fall under any tax bracket.
