Please anybody suggest me in Capital Gain calculation when Preference shares are converted into equity shares with case law? 1) What is Period of Holding? 2) What is the effective date for calculation of capital gain. 3) Can we take indexation Benifit? 4) what is Cost for Indexation ?

Suppose I invested in 1000 convertible preference shares of Rs.100 each in 01/06/2009 and company converted preference shares into Ordinary equity shares of Rs.100 each of Fair market value of Rs.300 on 01/06/2013 and those equity shares are sold for Rs.500 in 01/12/2014.
SO please explain the capital gain calculation for this.
& Whether Period of holding would be taken as from the date of aquiring preference shares or conversion of preference shares into equity shares?

01. The first capital gain arises on 01/06/2013, since the preference shares are extinguished. Assuming that 1000 equity shares are received in lieu of 1000 preference shares. The capital gain shall be computed as usual.Indexation benefits can be taken. Cost 1,00,000, full value of consideration 3,00,000
02. On 01/12/2014, capital gain would arise. Cost 3,00,000 and full value of consideration 5,00,000. (Long term capital gain for equity shares is exempt if period of holding is more than 12 months, subject to, however satisfying the other condition viz Security Transaction Tax being paid)

Suppose I invested in 1000 convertible Debentures of Rs.100 each in 01/06/2009 and company converted Debentures into Ordinary equity shares of Rs.100 each of Fair market value of Rs.300 on 01/06/2013 and those equity shares are sold for Rs.500 in 01/12/2014.
So please explain whether this calculation is different from preference shares conversion as said above?
