- Add Asset Details:
- Asset Type: Select from the dropdown. The calculator dynamically adjusts calculations (STCG/LTCG, holding periods) based on your choice. Notice the ‘Is this a Share Buyback?’ option appears only for ‘Listed Equity’ – that’s smart!
- Date of Acquisition & Cost of Acquisition: For long-term gains, indexation is automatic, using CII data from 2001-02 up to projected 2025-26. Assets acquired before April 1, 2001, correctly use the 2001-02 base year index.
