In a statement on Monday, HDFC Ltd said the profit numbers for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, however, are not directly comparable with that of the previous year.

“In the previous year, the tax on capital gains on sale of equity shares was low on account of grandfathering provisions as per the Income Tax Act, 1961,” it said.
