Comet P/Halley was observed polarimetrically for seven nights in IHW and other continuum filters, during the pre and post perihelion passages. The polarimetric observations have been combined with the observations taken by other investigators, to get a complete picture of phase angle and wavelength dependence of polarization of comet P/Halley. Assuming Mie type scattering by cometary grains, the observed polarization data were fitted for a set of complex refractive indices which are (1.387, .032), (1.375, .040) and (1.374, .052) at .365, .484 and .684μm respectively.
