if it is off market and if it is short term you have pay capital gain tax

Since the the company is not listed the question of paying security transaction tax does not arise.
The capital gain shall have to be calculated on the basis of holding of shares by you. If it is more than one year it shall be treated as long term, otherwise short term.
