Hello
I am facing the problem while computing the capital gain on house property.
PROBLEM
My client purchased house on 10 yearly installments. He took possesion in year of down payment. In current year he sold it. Now calculating the capital gain, indexation of which year be used i.e., wether i have to used index on each installment of same year.or used the index of year of down payment.
Example
Down Payment: 10,00,000 in FY 90-91
Ist Installment: 10,00,000 in FY 91-92
IIst Installment: 10,00,000 in FY 92-93

Dear Akashdeep,
Your calculation seems to be correct. didnt remember the case law, but to justify your solution you can read Section 55(2)with explanation (iii) to section 48. which states COA is the price which the assessee has paid, which assessee has incurred for acquisition.
and expalnation says that COA will be indexed in the year in which it was incurred.
