@Quicko
please

Grandfathering rule applies to the Equity Shares and Equity Mutual Funds on which STT is paid and are bought on or before 31/01/2018.

The Indexation in the case of bonds would be as per the CII (Cost Inflation Index) List published by the Income Tax Department. Indexed Cost of Acquisition is calculated using the following formula:
Cost of Acquisition (Purchase Price) * [CII of Year of Sale / CII of Year of Purchase]
