Long Term Capital Gains for shares

568 views 2 replies

I was alloted 50  Shares of  Mac Charles (India) Pvt ltd  in 1988 for Rs 10 each. Subsequently Company alloted 1:1 Bonus shares. I sold all the 100 Shares at various levels between 715 to 725. Avg value is  Rs 718.88. I want to know the Long term capital gains Tax calculation. Thanks in advance

Quick Summary
For listed shares, LTCG is computed using 31 Jan 2018 FMV (₹425) under grandfathering. Cost = FMV or actual, whichever higher. Gain over ₹1.25 lakh is taxable; below that is exempt (not fully tax-free income).

To solve this, find the Jan 31, 2018, market price for Mac Charles Ltd. Use that price as your "cost" for all 100 shares (both original and bonus) due to grandfathering rules. Subtract this total cost from your total sale value of ₹71,888. If the resulting gain is under ₹1.25 Lakh for the year, it is tax-free.

Thanks  Aashok F.C   Sorry for asking this. Tax Free means exempt income like PPF interest. My price of shares on 31st jan 2018 is Rs 425.
