09 June 2016 Any body please help me on following query:

Company A & B
Net Worth 500000 , 100000 respectively
No of share 4500 , 1500 respectively
Fair market value per share 111.1 , 66.7 respectively

1. Company A is purchasing company B for a consideration of Rs. 55555

2. Share exchange ratio 1:3 i.e. for every 3 share of B 1 share to be issued to B from A

3. So no of share to be issued to B from A = 500 (i.e. 1500/3)

4. Now share holder of B want to take from A 350 no of share and for rest 150 (i.e. 500-350) share they want to take cash @ 111.1 each

5. So as per income tax provision capital gain tax will be imposed in the hand of B on amount of (Rs.111.1*150 - cost of acquisition) at the rate of 20.06%

So my question is that how "cost of indexation" will be calculated if cost of per share at the time of investment in B is Rs. 10 in the year 2005-06

Thanks in advance

Umesh Dhara

11 June 2016 Indexed cost of acquisition of shares will be calculated as per section 55 of Income Tax Act, 1961 by considering the index rate of 2005-06.
