Long-term capital gain = Total rate of consideration received or accruing – (acquisition
indexation cost+ improvement Indexation cost + cost of transfer),
=12000-(5000+1379.89+50)
=12000-6429.89

Where:

Acquisition indexation cost= cost of achievement x cost inflation index of the year of
transfer/cost inflation index of the year of acquisition
5000*51.7/51.7=5000

Improvement Indexation cost = cost of improvement x cost inflation index of the year of
transfer/cost inflation index of the year of improvement =1500*51.7/56.2=1379.89
Capital gain tax = 5570.11*30%=1671.033
