Hon’ble Delhi ITAT has in the case of DCIT V/s Soni Sonu Mirchandani has held that indexed cost of acquisition to be computed with reference to the year in which the previous owner first held the gifted assets.
Issue which arises for our consideration is whether Rs. 12 lakhs paid by the appellant assessee to the seller at the time of purchase of the property in question must be construed as a cost of acquisition of the asset so as to be deducted from the full value of consideration received by the appellant assessee at the time when he had sold and transferred the property in question.

The object of giving relief to an assessee by allowing indexation is with a view to offset the effect of inflation. As per the CBDT Circular No. 636 dt. 31st Aug., 1992 a fair method of allowing relief by way of indexation is to link it to the period of holding the asset.
Section 48(1) of the Act provides for mode of computation and deduction while charging capital gain. Clause-I thereof in particular provides for a payment from the value of consideration received or accrued as a result of transfer of capital asset, expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. The Tribunal found that looking to the peculiar facts of the case noted above, such expenditure cannot be stated to be incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. We do not find that Tribunal committed any legal error.
When the bona fideof the transaction and the actual sale consideration received by the assessee has not been suspected, then for the purpose of computation of capital gains, the full value of consideration can not be substituted by market price or value of the capital asset as on the date of transfer.
