What is Indexed Cost of Acquisition?
Indexed cost of acquisition refers to the adjusted purchase price of an asset after accounting for inflation. The Income Tax Act allows taxpayers to apply the Cost Inflation Index (CII) to increase the purchase cost of long-term assets, thereby reducing taxable capital gains.
Indexation benefits are commonly used when calculating capital gains tax on property, gold, and certain financial investments held for the long term.
Formula for Indexed Cost
Indexed Cost of Acquisition = Purchase Price × (CII of Sale Year / CII of Purchase Year)
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purchase price | ₹10,00,000 |
| CII purchase year | 200 |
| CII sale year | 348 |
10,00,000 × (348 / 200) = ₹17,40,000
When is Indexation Allowed?
Indexation benefits are available for long-term capital assets, including real estate and certain financial investments. By adjusting the purchase price using the Cost Inflation Index, taxpayers can significantly reduce the taxable capital gains when selling property or other long-term assets.
