Stocks (also called equities or shares) represent ownership in a company. When you buy a stock, you become a shareholder, meaning you own a portion of the company and can benefit from its growth and profits. Stocks are traded on stock exchanges like the NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) in India.
Benefits of Mutual Stocks
High Return Potential
Historically, stocks have outperformed other asset classes like fixed deposits and gold over the long term.
Ownership and Dividends
As a shareholder, you may receive dividends—a portion of the company’s profits distributed to investors.
Liquidity
Stocks can be easily bought and sold on stock exchanges, offering quick access to funds when needed.
Beating Inflation
Stocks provide inflation-beating returns, ensuring your purchasing power grows over time.
Diversification
Investing in multiple stocks across industries reduces the risk of losses from a single company.
Passive Income Opportunity
Some companies pay regular dividends, offering investors a steady source of income.
Voting Rights & Influence
Shareholders get voting rights in company decisions, giving you a say in key business matters.
Tax Benefits on Long-Term Gains
Long-term capital gains (LTCG) from stocks (held for more than 1 year) up to ₹1 lakh are tax-free in India.
