Preferential share allotted on 10 August 2017.
Sale is not yet done since these are allotted just a week back. but those are allotted on account of cairn merging with Vedanta. Original shares(1000 nos were bought in 2012) and post merger I got 1000 shares of Vedanta and 4000 preferential shares with 7.5%interest getting matured in Oct 2018.
