I am having long term capital gains on shares on which STT has been paid. I want to use indexation to increase the cost of acquisition and show smaller tax free gains in my return. Is this allowed?
Sec. 10(38) exempts long-term capital gains on transfer of equity share in a company or a unit of an equity oriented fund, if such transaction is chargeable to STT.
