RSU taxation at both events. Vesting is a salary perquisite taxed at slab whether or not you sell, and only the gain after vesting is a capital gain.
Also called: rsu tax india, restricted stock unit tax.
₹8,40,000 across both events: ₹6,37,500 at vest as salary perquisite and ₹2,02,500 on the gain since. Held 18 months, short of the 24 month threshold, so the gain is taxed at slab. Net proceeds are ₹19,60,000.

RSUs are taxed at vesting on the full market value as a salary perquisite, at your slab, with the employer usually selling units to cover it. That tax is due whether or not you sell anything. The cost basis then resets to the vesting price, so only appreciation after that point is a capital gain. The holding period for long term treatment starts at vesting, not at grant, and differs between shares listed in India and those listed abroad, which for employees of foreign companies is the more common case.
RSUs are taxed twice: as salary at vest, then as capital gains on any further appreciationEach of these is asserted on every build. If a change to the engine ever moved one of these answers, the build would fail before the page could print it.
