Dear all
Why all of you try to interprete the law in your own way when the law is clearly stated in sectin 49 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
Read the section and understand the matter then only put your thought in writng.
Best Wishes
Sathikonda
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..
