20 September 2014 ideally such payments should not be transferred to the investment a/c in which payment for shares are held

you will book the sale consideration received and net profit or loss will be transferred to profit and loss account

if the company (investee) is not listed, then shares will be taxed as LTCG/STCG depending on holding period

if the company (investee) is listed, then long term capital gains wont be taxed
