This article lists the historical Cost Inflation Index (CII) values since 1981 which are to be used for capital gains tax calculation for assets purchased before 2001.
The Cost Inflation Index (CII) is a number published by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) for every financial year that is used to calculate capital gains on selling a capital asset like real estate, mutual funds, stocks or bonds.
The CII figure is published at the beginning of every financial year. It is used to rebase the purchase price of a capital asset, utilising the concept of indexation. The CII figure may be taken as a proxy for inflation.
The incometax website has CII data from 1981 onwards. In this article we have shown the CII values since 1981 so that you can calculate the capital gains tax for assets purchased before 2001. Please note that the formal guidance, as per income tax laws, is to use the fair market value of the asset in 2001, as per the report from an approved assessor for capital gain tax purpose.
