When assets sold after 3 year then long term capital gain otherwise short term.

However in case of shares, period of holding is 1 year

Indexation is used to adjust the purchase price of an investment to reflect the effect of inflation on it. A higher purchase price means lesser profits, which effectively means a lower tax.
