I am holding shares of a private limited company with an investment value of ₹1 crore. The company is now under liquidation. It has ₹4 crore in the bank account which is accumulated over a period of years out of the profit of the company.

Can you clarify whether the action of the liquidator is correct and what would be the tax implication in my hand?
