If I have made 2 groups of shares in Tally . For e.g. , Share Investment (Bombay) & Share Investment ( Jaipur) , & I have a particular scrip in both these groups (qty 100 in each group) , say ITC . In Share Investment (Bombay), I had purchased it on 1-4-06 & in Jaipur , I purchased it on 1-4-10 .Now I sell the 100 shares that I was holding in Jaipur . From Income Tax point of view , have I sold 100 ITC shares purchased on 1-4-10 (since I sold from my Jaipur Portfolio) or 100 ITC shares purchased on 1-4-06 (on FIFO basis) ?
