Indexation as well as period of holding since its acquisition by the previous owner or 01.04.1981 whichever is later.

Dear Mr. Sathikonda, Law is ambiguous on this point. The only judgment which favors the assessee is of the Punjab & Haryana High Court in the case cited as Pushpa Soft v ITO (2002) 81 ITD 1 (Chd.)(SMC).Any further comments will be highly solicited.

Indexation will start from the year in which the the capital asset was transferred to the assessee by way of 49(1) mode.. hence in this case cost inflation index for 1995-96 will be the denominator..
