Capital assets Summary Short term capital assets Long term capital assets Period of holding is 36 months or less Period of holding is more than 36 months Special cases: period of holding is more than 12 months Special cases: period of holding is 12 months or less 1.For computing the period of 36 months or 12 months, as the case may be, the date on which the asset was acquired is to be included while the date on which the asset is transferred is to be excluded. 2. Indexation on long term capital assets will not be allowed for bonds and debentures other than capital indexed bonds issued by the Government

  7. Question- short term or long term capital asset Y purchases Debentures of a company on Mar 10, 2006.Debentures are listed on Cochin Stock Exchange with effect from Jan 1, 2008. Y transferred these debentures on Jan 5, 2009. We have to see the nature of capital asset on the date of transfer. As the debentures were listed on the date of transfer, the criteria of 12 months will be applicable. Hence it is a long term capital asset as the period of holding is more than 12 months.
