1. more than 3 years from the date of transfer

2. within 3 years from the date of transfer

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.

 agree

it ll be considered as LTCG

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.

yes sandeep is right

Agree with Sandeep.

Its date of Acquisition that clasiifies whether the asset is LTCG or STCG.

Agree with Sandeep

agree with al above..

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.

 It will be long term capital gain. The period shall be taken from date of aqusition. The date of improvement exps is not important
