What is the cost inflation index explain with an example

The Cost Inflation Index (CII) is a measure used to adjust the purchase price of assets for inflation over time. It is crucial for determining the long term capital gain tax India.

For example, let’s say you purchased a property in India in the year 2010 for Rs. 50 lakhs. Now, you plan to sell it in 2022. To calculate the capital gains tax, you need to adjust the acquisition cost for inflation using the CII.

Suppose the CII for the year 2010-11 was 167, and for the year 2022-23, it is 317. To determine the indexed cost of acquisition, you would multiply the original purchase price (Rs. 50 lakhs) by the ratio of the CII for the year of sale (2022-23) and the CII for the year of purchase (2010-11):

Indexed Cost of Acquisition = (Purchase Price) x (CII for the year of sale) / (CII for the year of purchase)

= Rs. 50 lakh x 317 / 167

= Rs. 94.61 lakh

The indexed cost of acquisition (Rs. 94.61 lakhs) will be used to calculate the capital gains tax liability instead of the original purchase price

In India, the CII is used to calculate long-term capital gains tax. When an asset is sold after being held for longer than a predetermined amount of time, long-term capital gains result. Prior to the beginning of a financial year, the CBDT releases the CII for that particular financial year.

India’s Cost Inflation Index (CII). In order to calculate inflation and the long-term capital gains obtained from the sale of an asset, the Cost Inflation Index employs the CPI. The tax owed on long-term capital gains is decreased by taking inflation into account.

Eight categories make up the CPI: education, communication, transportation, leisure, attire, food and drink, housing, and medical care. The National Statistical Office (NSO), which is part of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, releases the CPI.
