Gain shown in the demat account would be dividend earned, dividend is tax paid by the company; hence not taxable in your hands, but you still need to disclose in your tax returns.

Unless you sell the shares, there is no need either to pay tax on Gains (Capital Gains) or you cannot take advantage of loss (Capital Loss).
