Capital Gain Computation?

This discussion addresses an issue where transferring shares between Demat accounts results in a zero purchase price, artificially inflating capital gains and tax liability. The advice provided suggests that brokers' platforms often allow editing the purchase price after a transfer. Alternatively, contacting the broker to manually update the cost basis is recommended. For simplicity, it's generally advised to use a single Demat account for both buying and selling shares to prevent such complications.
