Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that investments in equity shares of companies like Reliance and Tata are considered investing activities, not cash equivalents, according to AS-3. The accounting treatment applies when these investments are made as part of a company's business operations and are reflected on the balance sheet. For salaried individuals or personal investments, accounting standards may not be relevant.

They are investing activity. They are not cash equivalents.
If investing activity is carried out from business then only AS-3 or 13 comes into picture..

If investment is done in your personal capacity then it's not form part of balance sheet
ANY INVESTMENTS DONE IS AS PER GUIDELINES BY NORMS OR POLICIES OF THAT COMPANY BUT ACCOUNTING IS STRICTLY AS PER GUIDELINES OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING CONVENTION AS PER ICAI.
When accounting is not required then accounting standards have no relevance.

Do a salaried employee have investments in equity, Is there any relevance of Accounting Standards ?
No business has a investment in this share ..
Then you have to route it through capital gains only
