Sir, I had purchased few shares of a Indian company during 2008 for Rs. 24,000/-. Now the market price of said shares shows as Rs. 50,800/- (as learnt from the Account statement of NSDL). I have to file my ITR for AY 2018-2019. Whether I will have to show the income from shares (Market price less purchase price) ? If yes, under which head of income and what rate of income tax will have to be paid by me ? Please guide me.

Tax Liability on Such Shares will arise, only if the said Shares are sold in the Stock Exchange. Mere Appreciation of Value of Securities will not attract any taxes.
