Yes, I do agree with CA. Deepak Agrawal. The balance of shares should be valued at average cost price. Remember AS2 is not applicable to persons dealing in securities. Moreover, cost of acquisition of bonus shares is taken at NIL price for the purpose of Capital Gains which is not applicable for shares held as stock in trade.
