Income From Capital Gain
‡ Types of Capital Assets
± ,!'552'
‡ If the asset is held for Less than 36 Months then they
are Short Term capital assets.
‡ In case of Equity/Preference Shares in a Company,
Securities such as Debentures/Government Securities
and Units of UTI and Units of Mutual funds and Zero
Coupon bonds the term is 12 instead of 36 months.
± LONG TERM
‡ If the asset is held for More than 36 Months then they
are Long Term Capital Assets.

 INDEXATION BENEFIT

‡ Indexation is nothing but working out the value of asset based on cost
inflation index.
‡ Cost inflation index for the year 1981-82 is 100 Cost inflation index for the
year 2007-08 is 551.
‡ If an assesse had purchased an asset during the year 81-82 for a sum of
Rs.100.00. The same asset͛s value will be 551 if purchased during the year
2007-08 based on cost inflation index.
‡ Therefore the assesse gets additional benefit by deducting 551 instead of
100.

‡ 
± Find out the full value of consideration

± Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such a transfer
± Cost of acquisition
± Cost of improvement
‡ *
± From the resulting sum deduct the exemption provided by sections 54B, 54D, 54G and
54H
‡ &
± The balance amount is short-term capital gain

The expression  means the whole price without any deduction
whatsoever and it cannot refer to the adequacy or inadequacy of the price
bargained for, nor has it any reference to the market value of the capital asset,
which is subject matter of the transfer. The consideration for the transfer of the
capital asset is what the transferor receives in lieu of the asset he parts with,
namely money or money's worth.
‡ short-term capital
 Example computation for short term capital gain
‡ Ajay (HUF) is a Hindu undivided family. The family acquires a residential house at Delhi for Rs.
5,10,000 on April 1, 2001. The family undergoes complete partition on Nov 1, 2001 and the
residential house is allotted to Rahul, a member of the family (fair market value on Nov 1,
2001 is Rs. 6,00,000). Rahul sells the house on March 15, 2004 for Rs. 6,90,000. Determine
the amount of chargeable capital gains in the case of Ajay (HUF) and Rahul.

˜

Ajay (HUF) - Ajay (HUF) has transferred a house property to Rahul at the time of partition. Since
the transaction is not treated as transfer under section 47(i), surplus arising thereon is not
taxable.

Rahul ʹ Since Rahul has transferred a house property, he is chargeable to tax as follows:

Less: Cost of acquisition (since capital Rs. 5,10,000

asset is acquired in one of
circumstances mentioned in section 49

as cost of acquisition)

In case long term capital gains is covered by section 115AB, 115AC or 115AD, it is taxable at the rate
of 10%.

Rs.6,50,000 / 100** X 463*** = Rs. 30,09,500
*Fair market value on April 1, 1981 (actual cost of acquisition is ignored as it is lower than fair market value on
April 1, 1981).
**Cost inflation index for 1981-82
