  1. 1.I purchased an apartment for Rs.10 lakhs in 1994-95 period. I do note that the indexed cost in 2016-17 period would be 10,00,000×1125/259 = Rs.43.436L. Am I correct pl?
    2. I had done some woodwork & other items during 1995-96. Can I add the indexed cost from 1995-96 to 2016-17 to this. Shall appreciate your confirmation or otherwise.
    3. I have done some additional work/replacement work during course of last 22 years-(i) Rs. 60,000 during 2004-05 for toilet redoing/refurbishing, (ii)Rs. 50,000 for changing flooring in hall during 2014-15. Can the cost these two items be added after indexing from respective years.
    4.I have done periodical anti-termite treatments for whole flat. Are these cost can be added to indexed cost?
    5. How about painting cost incurred three times during last 21 years.?
    I would be grateful for your guidance on these points.
