I have to sell some shares of a particular large company, originally purchased in 1970 and thereafter getting increased through Bonus Shares in different proportions till last in Aug 2016. Meanwhile the company has also changed its face value from Rs 10 to Rs 1 per share in 2003-2005 or so, and thus increasing the no. of shares. Now I only know about the total nos of shares I have presently.

My query is:

1. How to calculate its purchase cost, capital gains and taxable income?

2. Is LTCG rule for Grandfathering applies in this case also by taking FMV on 31.1.2018 of this share?

3. If I want to sell partially does FIFO rule to be taken for calculating capital gains apply?

4. What will be the taxation process (better if it can be illustrated by example with dates as above for better understanding) and to be shown under which schedule & in which ITR form no.

Please enlighten me about the same as utter confusion is there.

Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
