Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of receiving gifted securities in a demat account. It explains that the holding period counts from the original purchase date, and the cost of acquisition is the original purchase price. If the original purchase details are unknown, guidance is provided on how to ascertain the Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of purchase, which will be crucial for calculating capital gains in your income tax return.

In the case of a gift, the holding period in your hand will be counted from the date of the actual purchase of the securities. 

Price actually paid at the time of purchase will be your cost of purchase. 

 

But we don't know the exact buy value..
it was happened 10 yrs back..
If it is listed company then you may the prices from stock exchange website
1)In your income tax return its a long term capital gain. Calculate indexed cost of accquistion.What is the sale value?post actusl values. File itr 1/2.
2) there are seperate rules for ascertaining asset purchased 10 years back.
3)actual date?
Cost to the previous owner and period of holding till sale has to be considered.

Since buying price is not available , get FMV on the date of purchase either through stock exchanges or from company
