Long term capital loss on equity

Incase of sale of listed equity shares after 1-4-18  what value of cost price do we take in case of loss.

Ex- cost of shares purcgased say 10 years ago is 100/- per share.Fair market value as on 31/1/18 is Rs 5/- and sold at rs 4 on 5th may 2018.

 

Shld we consider cost of purchase as Rs 100 and get a long terms capital loss of Rs 96 or otherwise?

Yes, Correct .....

Hi,

In Case U have been recoding stock at CMP, then loss will be calculate (5-4)*NO. of shares as the rest of the losses you have recorded earlier while recording the shares at CMP.

OR else if the above is not followed , then ypu have to calculate loss (100-4) i.e Rs 96*NO.of shares.
