If your Demat account has been transferred due to a bank migration, such as Citi to Axis, your holding period for shares should remain unchanged. This means shares purchased long ago will still be considered Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG), even if the bank or broker's system incorrectly flags them as Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) after the migration. You should be able to correct this by referencing your original purchase dates when reporting your capital gains.
