13 September 2012 Personal assets are NOT covered in the definition of capital asset.

However, personal assets DO NOT include jewellery. Jewellery includes precious stones studded in any wearing apparel.

Accordingly your diamond studded watch is a capital asset.

The cost of acquisitions shall be Rs. 5,000 and cost of improvement shall be Rs. 50,000
