Frequently Asked Questions

What are bonus shares?
Bonus shares are additional shares given to existing shareholders free of cost, usually in a fixed ratio (e.g. 1:1, 2:1).
How do bonus shares affect my average price?
Your total investment stays the same, but you have more shares, so your average price per share decreases proportionally.
Are bonus shares taxable?
Bonus shares are typically not taxable when received, but capital gains tax may apply when you sell them later.
