Dear Akashdeep, Your calculation seems to be correct. didnt remember the case law, but to justify your solution you can read Section 55(2)with explanation (iii) to section 48. which states COA is the price which the assessee has paid, which assessee has incurred for acquisition. and expalnation says that COA will be indexed in the year in which it was incurred.
