when a shareholder receives shares on demerger of companies, then what will be the accounting treatment for that in the books of shareholder as an investor?

In principle the investor has just swaped his investments. Hence he will debit the investment in new company and credit the investment in old company with the same old price if there is no change in the value of the investment. In case the market value of new shares is less than the previous shares then P&L A/c will be debited with the balancing figure.
