also how to adjust for rights

it is one and the same. here bonus shares means no new share is given. instead, if u hold 1 share @100, it will become 2 shares @50. So, you can still go for Stock Split funct. in Fcharts.

From a taxation point of view it is 1 share @ 100 and 1 share @ 0

There is no adjustment for rights. You are purchasing new shares if you apply for the rights

Hi satya

what rvgandhi ie telling is right. its one share @100 and oneshare@0 for taxation.

If your transaction is with transaction tax and with stock exchange then for short term capital gains tax @ 10 % is charged(if not treated as business income) and Long term capital gains tax @ 0%. Two conditions of transaction tax and through exchang must be met.

As for split in FCharts I dont know much.But simple math should do the trick

If you have 1 share and one bonus share is given and stock is split into 5 shares of Rs. 2 each then

You will have 5*(1+1)=10 shares after bonus and split..
Cost of acquisition will be cost of one share divided by 10.

But for tax purpose one share will be treated as sold(when splitted) and tax will be imposed at the applicable rate depending on period of holding. Sale will be treated as on record date.

Cost of acquisition for others will be treated as nil and for that tax wil be at the time of sale only subject to above conditions.

If I am wrong I may be corrected.
