16 June 2013 As per AS-13 "Accounting of Investments" - Long Term Investments are valued at cost subject to impairment.

and Current Investments should be valued at cost or fair market value which ever is low.

Share sold after 1 year of purchase are considered as Long Term as per Income Tax Act.

and tax will be calculated accordingly as per provision of Income Tax Act
