This discussion addresses how an Indian resident employee should report the sale of foreign shares purchased on the New York Stock Exchange. It covers which sections of the CG Schedule to use based on holding periods (more or less than two years) and whether to provide a consolidated entry or a bifurcated report. Guidance is also provided on determining the acquisition date for consolidated entries and converting US dollar prices to INR.

1. Shares held for more than 2 years under Table B9 & less then 2 years under A5 of Schedule CG. 2. Consolidated single entry will be OK for each one. Consider the average rate of purchase, 3. The last one purchased in the time frame.
