Similar view is taken in Mrs. Pushpa Sofat vs ITO (2001) 81 (ITD) 1.

Since the section is very clear and against the cited decisions, I avoided the citations in my earlier reply.

22 December 2010 Explanation (iii) to section 48 "Indexed cost of acquisition" means an amount which bears to the cost of acquisition the same proportion as Cost Inflation Index for the year in which the asset is TRANSFERRED bears to the Cost Inflation Index for the first year in which the asset was held by the assessee or for the year beginning on the 1st day of April, 1981, whichever is later;

22 December 2010 first thing, inheritance is not transfer.

and second "Cost Inflation Index for the first year in which the asset was held by the assessee"
as per judgments as given above first year should be that year in which a person whether the assessee or the previous owner or again previous owner received that asset by way of TRANSFER, not by way of gift, inheritance etc.

22 December 2010 we should look into the true intention of the law.
now the question is why this explanation is added to this section.
