31 December 2021 For Equity based MF, all the units sold, which were purchased before 12 months from the date of sell will attract Long Term capital gain. otherwise STCG.
The units sold are calculated on FIFO (First In First out basis).
Check the statement for no. of units sold, and its relevant date of purchase.

31 December 2021 No need of detailed working in ITR.
You can directly fill purchase & redemption amount from capital gain statement issued by MF.
