It will be both LTCG. Acquired date is the date which classify the Asset is either STCG or LTCG. The improvment date does not matter when it is occuered..........................it should be LTCG only

Mr.Sandeep is right.
Acquisition date is the date for consideration for deciding whether an asset would qualify for LTCG or STCG. Cost of Improvement is indexed and dedcuted for calculation of capital gains.

It is LTCG in both case. For eg. If date of purchase of asset is more than 3 years and date of improvement is in the same year in which asset is transferred then also it is a LTCG.

As per provisions date of improvement doesnt matter at all while deciding wheter an asset is a Long term asset or short term asset. Date of acqusition of asset is important.
