My Indian company Employer has given few RSU in past, which were vested and exercised. The total Market value of stocks (at that time) was shown as Perquisites in My Form-16 and tax (as per income slab) was paid to government. These RSU shares were deposited in my DEMAT account.
Later, 1:1 bonus stocks were issued. With this, my stock count doubled in my DEMAT account. Do I need to pay any Tax to Government for bonus shares.? As per my understanding, I need to pay ONLY capital gain tax to Government on the shared sold, whenever I sell the shares. These is no other Tax required to be paid to Government. Please clarify. Thanks.
