28 May 2012 The period of holding of the previous owner,
i.e. the donor, also will be considered.
.
So, You have to take the Date of purchase by the relative into consideration and period of holding will be from such date to the date when you transfer the shares.
.
LTCG on shares will be exempt in case of listed shares.
