Sir / Madam,
I have shares of Gateway distriparks purchased before 2018 (grandfathering concept) . I got 4 shares of the resulting company after the merger and relisting in 2021-2022. I have not sold the shares so far. What shall be the capital gains if I sell now and what shall be the date of purchase?

1. The cost of purchased would be as per FMV of the original shares as on 31.01.2018; w.r.t its merger ratio to new shares.
2. On or before 31st Jan, 2018.
2. On or before 31st Jan, 2018.

You mean to say that the purchase date of the shares shall be 2016 or 2017 (I Purchased the shares in 2016 or 2017.) though the shares of the merged entity was allotted in Feb / Mar 2022.

Yes; latest 31.01.2018, as you have not purchased them in 2022.. For capital gain calculation the investment date is concerned. Only thing, the rate for each allotted share will be in proportionate to the total amount of investment divided by no. of new shares,

Thanks for your response. One last query in this regard. The GDL (Gateway Distriparks Limited) has merged into its subsidiary and formed the present GDL in 2022. They relisted under different ISIN and BSE code. My question is whether the grandfathering benefits will be applicable now as the original GDL does not exist as on date. Your answer shall be useful to many. Thanks in advance.

Even if the new company formed due to merger, but you have not purchased new company shares. You had purchased old co. shares before 2018. So you can get grandfathering benefit based on your investment, even though you are selling new company shares because of merger of your old company investment.
