### 1️⃣ **Is club membership a capital asset?**
* Generally, **club membership is considered a capital asset** if it is transferable (can be sold).
---
### 2️⃣ **Capital Gains Calculation**
* **Holding period:**
* If you held the membership for **more than 36 months (3 years)** → **Long Term Capital Asset (LTCA)**
* If less than 3 years → **Short Term Capital Asset (STCA)**
* **Cost of acquisition:** The price you originally paid to buy the membership.
* **Sale consideration:** The amount you receive on selling the membership.
---
### 3️⃣ **Taxable Capital Gain**
* **Capital Gain = Sale Price – Cost of Acquisition**
* If LTCA (held >3 years), **indexation benefit** applies on cost, i.e., you adjust the purchase price using Cost Inflation Index (CII) to calculate indexed cost.
---
### 4️⃣ **Disclosure in ITR**
* Under **Schedule CG** or **Capital Gains section** of your ITR:
* Mention the details of the asset:
* Description: Club Membership
* Date of Acquisition
* Date of Sale
* Sale Consideration
* Cost of Acquisition (Indexed cost if LTCA)
* Capital Gain (Short term or Long term)
* Attach computation details if required.

### 5️⃣ **Summary Table**
| Holding Period | Tax Treatment | Indexation Benefit |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------ |
| More than 3 years (LTCA) | Long term capital gains taxed @20% | Yes |
| Less than 3 years (STCA) | Short term capital gains taxed as per slab | No |
