Note :- Shares are Sold in FIFO Manner:- Example:- Ram buy 1000 share of Jio in 2012 Again buy 2000 shares of Jio in 2014 Again buy 5000 shares of Jio in 2015 Again buy 1500 shares of Jio in 2016 Now if he sells 4000 shares in 2020 then which shares will be sold ? 1000 share of Jio in 2012 { First this will be sold 1000} 2000 share of Jio in 2014 {Second this 2000} Again Buy 5000 Share of Jio in 2015 {then rest 1000 share from these 5000 shares will be sold} Cost inflation index (CII):- This declared by Govt. each year It inform about the inflation in that particular year. Example :- CII for 2017-18 is equal to 100 CII for 2018-19 is equal to 110 CII for 2019-20 is equal to 115 Ques:-1 If Ram Buy 1000 share on 24 April 2017 for Rs. 5 each then which CII will be applicable and if he sells it on 6 May 2019 at Rs. 20 Each then which CII will be applicable. Also calculate Index cost of acquisition in the year of sale . CII for 2017-18 is equal to 100 CII for 2018-19 is equal to 110 CII for 2019-20 is equal to 115 Solution :-1 Given :- Ram Buy 1000 share on 24 April 2017 for Rs. 5 each CII of acquisition will be of 2017-18 (100) {01-04-2017 to 31-03-2018} Cost of acquisition = 5 × 1000 = 5000 Rs. Given:- He sells it on 6 May 2019 at Rs. 20 Each CII of Transfer will be of 2019-20 (115) {01-04-2019 to 31-03-2020} Cost of Sale = 20 × 1000 = 20,000 Rs.
Index cost of acquisition in the year of sale =
𝟏𝟏𝟓 5000 × = Rs. 5227.27 𝟏𝟏𝟎 CASE STUDY Mr. Mohan had inherited a property of market value of Rs. 50 lakh from his grandfather on 28 December 2009. His grandfather purchased this property on 01 September 2001 for Rs 12 Lakh Mr. Mohan sold this property for Rs 70 Lakh on 10 January 2017 , Compute The Capital Gain/ Loss ? Cost Inflation index for 2001-2002 :- 426 2009 – 2010 :- 632 2016-2017 :- 1125 Solution :- Acquisition price of property = 12,00,000 {01 sep 2001} Market value of inherited property = 50,00,000 {28 Dec 2009} Sales consideration = 70,00,000 (Jan 2017) CII – 426 (2001-02) CII- 632 (2009-10) CII- 1125 (2016-17)
