Markets of property, shares and jewellery are speculative in nature. People buy these assets either for security (Investment) or for speculation. The transactions in these assets are also subjected to capital gain tax.
The other benefit of long term asset that they can be indexed. Govt. has come out with index table called Cost Inflation Index whose base year was fixed as 1-4-1981. In Finance Bill 2017 the Govt. has taken a very bold step and has shifted the base year from 1981 to 2001 for the benefit of investors.
Also period of holding of land and / or building has been reduced from 36 months to 24 months.

OFFHAND
In changing and re fixing the base year by itself may not be a bad idea ; and as such cannot be faulted.
Nonetheless, the nagging doubt in one’s mind this- does it stand to reason why the extant indexation has been left otherwise untouched ; except by simply adding the Index for 2016-17. To be precise, are not, by leaving the Index for the new Base year 2001-02 at 406,holders of property acquired before 1-4-2001 deprived of the benefit of indexation to that extent (i.e.406 points ) ?
Any different way of viewing or construing the change; over to tax pundits to enlighten !
