No,
Capital gains to Indian residents from sale of shares of a foreign company will not be included in the national income as they do not add to the current flow of goods and services in the economy.
Explanation:-
The sale of shares of a foreign company is just a mere of ownership transfer of financial assets.
It does not add to the flow of goods and services in the economy.
Thus it is not included in the national income.
