Sale value is Rs.734400/-
Cost in 1984 is Rs.244800/-
Indexed cost is Rs.244800/- X 582/125 = Rs 1139789/-
Capital Gains = 734400/- minus 1139789/- = Loss Rs.405389/-
If sale transaction has suffered securities transaction tax and the share are equity shares, then gain/loss is exempted under section 10 (38) of the Income tax Act,1961.
