You must enter the buy average manually for shares transferred to your Zerodha account. If you purchased the transferred shares over multiple days, add the average price for each trade date separately.
For purchases on different days
Enter separate discrepant trades on Console for each purchase date. The system will calculate the buy average automatically.
Example:
- 100 shares of Reliance bought at ₹1000 on 1/4/2020
- 200 shares of Reliance bought at ₹1020 on 2/4/2020
You need to enter two separate discrepant trades on Console.
For multiple purchases on the same day
Calculate the average price for all purchases and enter the total discrepant quantity on Console.
Example:
- 100 shares of Reliance bought at ₹1000 on 1/4/2020
- 200 shares of Reliance bought at ₹1020 on 1/4/2020
Enter the quantity as 300 and the price as ₹1013.33 [(1000x100 + 1020x200)/300)]
Special case: Same day buy and sell
Shares bought and sold on the same day will be considered as intraday trades irrespective of whether you place the trades in CNC (long-term) or MIS (intraday) product types.
Example:
- 100 shares of XYZ bought for ₹600 on 1st April 2018
- On 1st August, sold for ₹700
- On the same day, bought back for ₹690
As per FIFO:
- 1/04/2018 - Buy - ₹600
- 1/08/2018 - Sell - ₹700
- 1/08/2018 - Buy - ₹690
