Do the unlisted shares have any lock-in?
Depends on certain factors. As such, there are no restrictions on the sale of unlisted
shares. However, if the company comes up with an IPO and gets itself listed, then as per
SEBI rules, all unlisted shares have a lock-in period of 6 months from the date of listing.
This is 1 year prior to August 2021 if any company had filed for DRHP before then. Also,
once the company Issue date and Listing are published, typically within a few days of the
actual listing, corporate action restricts an investor from selling the stock.

About Taxes related to
Unlisted shares
What are the Tax Implications of Unlisted Shares?
Since unlisted shares are different from listed ones, the tax implications are different as
well.
- Short-term capital gain tax: Unlisted shares if sold within 24 months, then is
applicable on the profits and thus taxed at the marginal tax rate. - Long-term capital gain tax: Unlisted shares if sold after 24 months, then will be
applicable @20% and you get the benefit of indexation as well.
However, the profits are calculated as per FMV until the shares get listed on any formal
stock exchange. Once and if the unlisted shares you have purchased get listed on the stock
exchange and then you sold your investment, the tax implication will be as listed equity
shares only, that is long-term capital gain tax @10% on profits above Rs. 1 lakh without
the benefit of indexation or as per the govt tax indications at that
