Article discusses Meaning of Cost Inflation Index (CII) which is used for Computation of Long Term Capital Gain. Cost Inflation index are Notified by CBDT every year and till date CBDT has notified Cost Inflation Index for the Financial Year 1981-82 to Financial year 2023-24. Cost Inflation index are used for computing indexed cost of acquisition.
What is Cost Inflation Index (CII)?
It is a measure of inflation that finds application in tax law, when computing long-term capital gains on sale of assets. Section 48 of the Income-Tax Act defines the index as what is notified by the Central Government every year, having regard to 75 per cent of average rise in the consumer price index (CPI) for urban non-manual employees for the immediately preceding previous year. Therefore, if we consider that price of a capital asset has risen in tandem with base price rise, then if one want to sell an asset and replace it, the cost allowed even after indexation will be lesser than the price payable for new asset. However, in case of many capital asset the price rise is lesser than market price and in many cases it is higher.
How does Cost Inflation Index (CII) help in capital gains computation? Capital gain, as you know, arises when the net sale consideration of a capital asset is more than the cost. Since “cost of acquisition” is historical, the concept of indexed cost allows the taxpayer to factor in the impact of inflation on cost. Consequently, a lower amount of capital gains gets to be taxed than if historical cost had been considered in the computations.
Formula for computing indexed cost is (Index for the year of sale/ Index in the year of acquisition) x cost.
For example, if a property purchased in 1991-92 for Rs 20 lakh were to be sold in A.Y. 2009 -10 for Rs 80 lakh, indexed cost = (582/199) x 20 = Rs 58.49 lakh. And the long-term capital gains would be Rs 21.51, that is Rs 80 lakh minus Rs 58.49 lakh.
Cost Inflation Index:- Cost inflation index (CII) as notified by Central Government alongwith analysis of the same is as under:

My Father Purchase Property in 1979 @ 10000/- and wish to sell in this year Sept 2023 @ 2000000/-. How to calculate Capital Gain on this. Please guide me. Thanks
A friend of mine, who holds an NRI, owns an apartment in Bangalore and is considering selling it. Here’s some background:
He initially booked the under-construction apartment on 09-10-2014 for a value of INR 83,13,838.00. This value was broken down into a Construction Agreement Value of INR 36,18,400 and a Sale Agreement Value of INR 37,84,000, both of which were provided by the builder in a letterhead. The home loan for the apartment was obtained from LIC HFL.
The apartment’s sale deed was officially registered on 29-05-2015, with a consideration value of INR 36,00,000. Interior work was completed on 30/07/2015, incurring a cost of INR 609,542.25.
Looking ahead to 2024, he’s contemplating selling the apartment at INR 1,20,00,000.
Now, onto the questions:
While applying for a lower tax deduction with the Income Tax department through a CA, can the total value of INR 83,13,838.00 be considered? This includes the builder’s cost confirmation letter and the cost of improvements at INR 609,542.25.
Are there any other strategies to potentially reduce tax liabilities?

Dear Sir,
Awaiting response of my query posted just now.
V. K. Mehra
Dear Mehra sir,
kindly give the following details for calculating your Capital gains:
1.Cost of acquisition of that land paid by your father and also year of acquisition
2.Any other costs incurred for improving that land, also the year of incurring such improvement expenses
3. Any realization expenses incurred by you while selling that land ( for eg. brokerage expenses etc)
I purchased flat in 2012 – 13for sale consideration of₹ 2270559 & sale deed was executed in September, 2017 after getting possession of the flat in March, 2017. I paid stamp duty of 150800 & court fee of 20120 & value of property is shown as 3014000 at that time. I sold the said flat in October, 2022 for 4000000.what will be the capital gain tax.
How can the purchase price of 1992-93 (Index of 223) be taken as value as on 1-1-2001 when as per the Govt’s published CII showed the index as 406, because that would result in reducing the indexed cost in the year of sale (say 2022-23) when the index is only 331 w.r.t 100 in 2001. One may go to a valuer and get FMV as on 1-1-2001, but there should be a scheme for indexing the 1992 cost to 2001 (406/223) and adopt that figure as base cost for computing indexed cost as per new table in the interest of equity

As selected, the one comment posted on, – “May 20, 2021 at 3:40 pm” stands out for more than one reason:
That says: “What is the use of posting articles after articles when the CII benefits are denied on intrupting the section espicially in capital gains. The assessing officer getting hesitation to grant relief saying that the property construction amount not registered and hence CII benefit cannot be given. There are so many settled case laws that assessee shouldn’t be deprived……”
Though not made quite clear, the reference therein, it appears, pertains to the wrong practice earlier indulged in by promoters, of entering into two agreements, – one for ‘ sale of land ‘ (UDI) and another for ‘ construction’ of ‘ UNIT’ (Flat/Apartment). Such a practice was being followed only with a view to ‘ saving on stamp duty’ , out of the total price for purchase’, that split and claimed, wrongly / illegitimately so, as ‘consideration’ agreed to in terms of the ‘ agreement for construction’.
The referred aspect has been gone into and discussed in great details in inter alia the Article displayed on this website @ .
As pinpointed therein, it is the above referred wrong practice of ‘ twin’ agreements (instead of a straight forward single agreement for ‘ sale’ of UNIT ) that was responsible for the government to rack its brains, to the end of conceiving of and bringing about , firstly the most controversial levy of ‘ VAT’ and Service Tax’ , and thereafter, GST , by deeming the transaction in its entirety as a ‘WORKS CONTRACT’.
In the light of the above stated reasoning, it needs to be appreciated, the brunt of the blame- as given vent in the subject comment, – to be honest, cannot rightly and justifiably be passed to / heaped on the Revenue, in no view in toto.
As regards the mention made of ‘ so many settled cases’, me personally am not aware of any such case law squarely covering the point of issue .
ADMN/ Srs
It will be of common interest to have the citation, in case the ‘point of issue’ raised has ever been judicially adjudicated upon!

In the write-up indicated to have been, -“Republished with Amendment, Source -Income Tax Website)”, in the attempted ILLUStration, both the year of purchase and the year of transfer taken are FYs covered within the Old Table applicable for FYs 1981-82 to 2016-17. And, one thought, it has been common understanding (look up most of the posted comments) that in all such cases the exercise for computing ‘ capital gains’ does not pose any problem. On the contrary, the problem arises, – has so far remained unresolved; instead has been increasingly muddled up – only in a case in which the year of transfer is FY 2017-18, or any later year.
For More, suggest once again, at the cost of painful repeat, not to mind but care to mindfully look through the helpful material shared in several posts (Comments and Articles) via this website , besides elsewhere !

What is the use of posting articles after articles when the CII benefits are denied on intrupting the section espicially in capital gains. The assessing officer getting hesitation to grant relief saying that the property construction amount not registered and hence CII benefit cannot be given. There are so many settled case laws that assessee shouldn’t be deprived but unfortunately they are burdened on the cost of construction agreement taxable though it’s the cost to incurred for construction of apartment buildings but the same need to register when its improvement to land property converting further into building property and when the same apartment sold the incometax be levied by adding the same cost of construction to addressable value
wrt my since posted comments:
Sorry; me personally am not at all surprised that the Revenue has been averse but is not agreeable to allow the benefit of ‘ CII’ on the ‘ cost of construction’ paid under a separate agreement (as distinct from a sale and purchase agreement as envisaged by the law- both in letter and spirit)
Be that as it may, you will do well to share the citation of the favourable ‘ case law’ referred , in case, if any, that squarely covers on all the fours the point of grievance put across for the others’ info. !

Bought 2BHK Flat in Mumbai for Rs80,000 in Oct 1985, and selling for Rs. 85,00,000 in year 2021. What’s is the LTCG applicable. Do not intend to reinvest
Dear Sir,
I purchased a flat in Chennai in 1991 for Rs.2.05 lakhs.I proposed to sell it for Rs 40.00 lakhs now( 2021) The index was 182 in 1991 and 1222 in 2021.What will be the tax ( Capital gains) if I do not venture to buy a new one
Good examples described.
“…..and 1222 in 2021….”
Apparently, there is an error. Index for 1990-91 is 182; for 2021-22, however, that has to be specially ascertained having regard to the year wise DATA in the old and new Tables -respectively available in the two Tables, one for 1981-82 to 2016-17 and the other for 2001-02 to 2023-24.
The difficulties faced with, mainly because of the overlapping of the DATA, as perpetrated, are regrettably still being perpetuated. The other reason is because of the view taken and being followed, -wrongly so in my personal view and firm conviction, that for any asset acquired before but sold after 2000-21, cost of acquisition could be taken by choosing to opt for the “FMV” as on 1-04-21 and applying CII as per the new Table.
In the write-up published @ https://taxguru.in/income-tax/key-income-tax-returns-itrs-ay-2022-23.html
its author observes :
“2.4: Separate disclosure of cost of acquisition and indexed cost of acquisition: Earlier the assessee was required to disclose only the indexed cost of acquisition of property transferred. Now as per new ITR Forms assessee required to mention BOTH THE ‘COST OF ACQUISITION’ AND THE ‘INDEXED COST OF ACQUISITION’.”
In reiterating my exclusively personal view / firm conviction, submit that, if the referred changes in the Form are duly interpreted and care taken to be consciously followed, that should put an end to, once far all, the still ongoing controversy, – impudently / flagrantly kept alive, and be considered as having been resolved.
Why to say so; for, the two expressions, – THE ‘COST OF ACQUISITION’ AND THE ‘INDEXED COST OF ACQUISITION”, as stand substituted, clearly require to be construed and taken to mean/imply, as under :
“Cost of Acquisition” should be the original cost of acquisition as incurred on the date/ in the year of acquisition; and
the indexed cost should be reckoned by applying CII (a) as per the old Table for the years 1981-82 to 2006-07 and (b) as per the new Table for the years 2007-08 to the subsequent years.

BACK to EXPERTS -not barring those who have been holding out and continue to canvass for a materially contrarian view, – in case of having any reservation on any of the points reiterated by me!
A self-correction:
In place of the concluding lines be corrected and read, -the indexed cost should be reckoned by applying CII
(a) as per the old Table applicable as such, for the years 1981-82 to 2016-17 and
(b) as per the new Table applicable for the year 2017-18 to the year of sale! < (Check!?)
