CII (Cost Inflation Index) is an important metric used to estimate the inflation on an annual basis. It ensures fairness in the taxation of capital gains. It adjusts the cost of assets for inflation while computing the long-term capital gains (LTCG). By doing this, you can determine the actual profit earned from selling assets, considering the increase in prices over the years. List of Cost Inflation Index:
