Difference in actual cost of acquisition

dear forum

i bought shares of 6 companies last FY and sold shares of 4 companies.

My question is that while calculating cost of acquisition, should the cost of acquisition of only those shares should be considered that have been sold or the total cost of acquisition in the last FY should be taken into consideration as provided by Groww(my discount broker)in the capital gain statement.

In my opinion, in my case,cost of acquisition of shares of only those 4 companies should taken that have been sold, but the groww STCG report takes into consideration cost of acquisition of all 6 companies.

But again, another doubt arises ..this time i had sold all the stocks bought of any company.... had I sold a partial amount, what should be the treatment then?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to calculate the cost of acquisition for capital gains tax. It explains that only the cost of shares actually sold should be considered, not the total cost of all shares purchased in a financial year. This is crucial for accurately determining your taxable gain, especially when selling only a portion of your holdings.

Gain is taxable. Gain means sales- purchase .
only cost of acquisition of the sale of share is to be taken only
Cost of acquisition is cost of only those shares qwhich you sold.
