Ltcg calculation

My broker has given in XLS file the yearly LTCG details.

I am giving below a sample for easy understanding.

======

Qty: 45

Sale Date: 05-Feb-19=============== Purchase Date: 02-Dec-08

Sale Rate: 22===================== Purchase Rate: 20.14

Sale Value: 990=================== Purchase Value: 990

Sale Expenses: 5.29=============== Purchase Expenses: 3.03

Price as on 31st Jan 2018: 97.2

Purchase Price Considered: 22

Purchase Index Cost: 1858.48

Profit/Loss(-): -8.32

==========

My question, the Profit/Loss(-) shown as Rs. -8.32 which is addition of Sale Expenses (Rs.5.29) + Purchase Expenses (Rs.3.03) even though the LTCG is not applicable.  Should this value (Rs.-8.32) should be taken as Loss?

My general question is, Should we consider(or deduct) both the Sale Expenses & Purchase Expenses while calculating the LTCG?
