Cost inflation index (CII) is used in Income Tax to give inflation effect to cost for long term capital asset purchased before 1 or 2 or 3 years in different situations and depending on the type of capital asset and as we know with time and inflation, value of goods increases, and thus to not tax people for increase in value of goods because of inflation CBDT let people adjust cost inflation index to original cost and to include inflation effect while calculating Long term capital gain.

Cost inflation index has been announced for F.Y. 2021-22 at 317 and for previous year FY 2020-21 it was 301.

Indexed cost of acquisition has been explained in section 48 as “an amount which bears to the cost of acquisition the same proportion as Cost Inflation Index for the year in which the asset is transferred bears to the Cost Inflation Index for the first year in which the asset was held by the assessee or for the year beginning on the 1st day of April, 2001, whichever is later”

Also proviso to section 48 i.e. Mode of computation of capital gain states the mode when such cost inflation index needs to be used and when it will not be used as “that where long-term capital gain arises from the transfer of a long-term capital asset, other than capital gain arising to a non-resident from the transfer of shares in, or debentures of, an Indian company referred to in the first proviso, the provisions of clause (ii) shall have effect as if for the words “cost of acquisition” and “cost of any improvement”, the words “indexed cost of acquisition” and “indexed cost of any improvement” had respectively been substituted:

Provided also that nothing contained in the first and second provisos shall apply to the capital gains arising from the transfer of a long-term capital asset being an equity share in a company or a unit of an equity oriented fund or a unit of a business trust referred to in section 112A”

From the above it is clear that whenever you earn long term capital gain you’ll convert your cost of acquisition into indexed cost of acquisition using the cost inflation index provided below. However there are certain situations where even if you have long term capital gain you won’t be able to get benefit of indexation:

  1. When an NRI earns any capital gain from the transfer of shares or debentures of an Indian company i.e. if he earns capital gain from sale of land he can use cost inflation index.
  2. Cost inflation index won’t be available to anyone when the capital gain is taxable under section 112A i.e. it is applicable on long term capital gain from sale of equity share in a listed company on which STT paid or equity oriented fund or unit of a business trust.

Other than the above situation whenever you earn long term capital gain you can use indexed cost of acquisition to calculate your capital gain.

Now let’s see how you can use this cost inflation index:

For eg: You had purchased a land on 01.02.2005 for Rs. 15 lakh and you are going to sell it on 31.01.2021. So the indexed cost of acquisition for the land would be Rs. 42.08 lakh (i.e. 15*317/113). Thus, you need to reduce this cost from your sale price.
