I was holding shares in my NRI PINS account and after becoming resident, opened a resident demat account and transferred PINS shares to the resident demat. This is recorded as an off market transfer in the records, by the depository. STT was paid at the time of purchase of shares. Would like to know the tax implications on sale of shares in the resident demat: if the total holding period (NRI PINS+ resident demat) is more than 12 months, I need to pay only LTCG? Or, holding will be considered from the off market transfer date, where STT was not paid? Please clarify.
