Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether non-residents are eligible for indexation benefits on long-term capital gains earned in India. It's confirmed that indexation is generally not available for non-residents on assets like shares and debentures, as per the first proviso of Section 48. However, for immovable property, non-residents can still claim the indexation benefit.

INDEXATION BENEFIT is NOT available to Non - Resident (1st Proviso of Sec 48)  

Naveen, I think its second proviso to Sec 48 which speaks about non availaibility of indexation benefit.

also only in case where Assessee is Non Resident and asset is share and debentures of Indian co.
It is immovable property.
Yes, indexation benefit will be availaible

NO KARAN , it is 1st proviso of Sec 48 talking about that 

NO INDEXATION in case of NR and assets should be shares or debentures 

For immovable property, INDEXATION available to non residents also

According to second Proviso of Section 48 indexation benefit is not available to Non Resident in case of Shares or debentures. 

In case of other Long Term Capital Assets, indexation benefit is available. 

Yes, Correct its a second proviso which states indexation benefit will not available to assessee which fall under first proviso of sec 48.
