11 August 2012 1. In case of shares, if the shares are held for a period of 12 months or more, then they are long term capital asset and LTCG shall arise.

So, in the above case, LTCG will arise on both original shares and bonus shares.

However, since the date of acquisition is different in both the cases, computation shall be done separately.

2. In case of bonus shares cost of acquisition is NIL.

So, LTCG shall be computed as under:

On original shares
Sale price
Less: Indexed cost of acquisition

On bonus shares whole amount shall be taxable as LTCG.

11 August 2012 The period of holding criteria applies to ALL shares, whether listed or unlisted.

Please read Section 2(42A).
