Dear friend,
In case of sale of bonus shares capital gains are calculated.
If the bonus shares are sold with in one year then short term capital gains are calculated but if the bonus shares are sold beyond one year then long term capital gains are calculated.
Cost of acquisition of bonus shares is taken to be nil.
Hope this helps you.
