This discussion clarifies the tax implications of bonus shares for Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) under Section 112A of the Income Tax Act. It specifically addresses whether the grandfathering rule applies to bonus shares issued after the cut-off date of 31 January 2018. The consensus is that the grandfathering rule will not apply in such cases, meaning the sale value of these bonus shares will be subject to long-term capital gains tax.
