Cost Inflation Index (CII)-FY 2023-24
Inflation refers to the overall increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy over time. Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money, which means that over time, the same amount of money can buy fewer goods and services. For example, you bought two units of goods for Rs 100 today, tomorrow only one unit might be available for Rs 100 due to inflation.
What is Cost Inflation Index?
Cost Inflation Index (CII) is a tool used in India to adjust the purchase price of an asset for inflation, as inflation can impact the cost of an asset over time. CII is used to adjust the purchase price of an asset for inflation so that the actual inflationary gain or loss can be accurately determined when the asset is sold.
The CII is used to compute long-term capital gains tax in India. Long-term capital gains arise when an asset is sold after being held for more than a specified period. The CBDT announces the CII for a particular financial year before the start of the financial year.
CBDT notifies that the Cost Inflation Index (CII) for FY 2023-24 (AY 2024-25) is 348.
