18 November 2014 No need to account for the market value as on 31/03/2014. (Conservative principle.)
Pass the entry on 30/04/2014 itself.
.
.
The market value of the shares/mutual fund can be reported by way of foot note.

23 November 2014 But if it would be for many years, like 5-10 then what ?? after 5-10 years, there will be much big figure of income, and pay higher tax.
where in actual its is collected amount for 5-10 years investment.

23 November 2014 Shares : It will go to Long Term Capital Gain
(I think you are aiming at MARKET value method of accounting. It is NOT yet recomended in India)Your views please.

26 November 2014 you have to book income when you sell the stock , if you remain 5-10 year then its taxable under long term capital gain.
