ACQUISITION = PURCHASE OF LTC ASSETS 

IMPROVEMENT AS CAPITAL NATURE IMPROVEMENT IN ASSETS 

Acquisition is taking control over a property. Improvement is making changes or additions. For example, you buy a house with one floor (acquisition) and later you construct another floor on it (improvement).

Sir/Ma'am

Cost of acquisition:- refers to actual cost incurred on puchase of a property or construction of a property.

cost of Improvement :- Refers to capital expenses incurred to enhance the life or production capacity of a property.

one thing more suppose property purchase before new cost inflation index ie. before 01-04-2001 and sold now in which column have to mention indexed cost :-
Acquisition
OR
Improvement

Schedule CG has section F (Information about accrual/receipt of capital gain), it is required to give capital gains values for
Upto 15/6 (i): Say I have nil
16/6 to 15/9 (ii): Say I have 20,000
16/9 to 15/12 (iii): Say I have 35,000
16/12 to 15/3 (iv): Say I have 40,000
16/3 to 31/3 (v):Say I have loss of 30,000

Since negative values are not accepted for the above, shall I reduce the positive values over the three time periods earlier to arrive at total CG of 65,000?
Say, shall I report 0, 10000, 25000, 30000, 0 respectively in section F?
