07 September 2010 On the Demat provisions being implemented , the identity of the shares is lost and hence, the Borad vide circular no. 768 dtd. June, 24,1998 clarified that the FIFO method will be applied in respect of the dematerilised holdings. Consequently, as per Sec. 55(2)(aa)(iiia) the cost of acquisition of bonus shares or any other financial asset alloted without payment and o the basis of the holding of any other financial asset , shall be taken to be nil.

Your treatment is correct. However, according to me there would not be impact on the capital gain tax even if the cost of acquisition of the shares including the bonus shares is avereged out. Pl. check from your end.
