Whether Indexation benefit is available if Property has been purchased before 23/7/2024 and Sold in Financial Year 25-26

Hi,
I sold a property in April 2026, which was acquired by my grandfather in 1956, no buy/purchase deed and purchase cost is available

I am unable to get FMV Certificate from valuers as it is very rural property and valuers ask for heavy fee which is not affordable (in view of transaction value)

My grandfather died in 1970, and father died in 1993 & I am a senior citizen

I sold my share of the property in April 2026 for Rs 8 lakhs

Now I want to know can I assume purchase price at Rs 1 only as of year 1956, and claim Rs 19000 towards renovation during year 1993

Can I get indexation benefits on Rs.1 or Rs. 19001 as above, I have already invested Rs 7.1 lakhs in REC Capital Gains Bonds, is it enough or i should invest full amount of Rs 8 lakhs. Further, I have STCL (on sale of shares) during same year of Rs 1 lakh

Pl suggest what to do in this case
Thanks in Advance 🙏

Whether the Assessing Officer was justified in denying deduction under Section 80P(2)(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 merely because the appellant had inadvertently claimed the same under Section 80P(2)(f) in the return of income, despite the appellant being otherwise eligible for such deduction?

Company formed private employee fund.
For this purpose company yearly deduct certain amount from employee salary & company add his double contribution ( double of employee contribution ) in welfare fund.
Can we claim company's ( employer ) contribution as expenses in profit and loss account as per income tax act. Also what is the implication regarding gst

Respected colleagues,
I would like to seek clarification regarding the determination of the cost of acquisition of a property for capital gains purposes.

The property was originally purchased in 1997 as agricultural land and was subsequently converted into residential plot after obtaining CLU approval. The property was sold in October 2025.

In this regard, I have the following queries:

1. How should the cost of acquisition as on 01.04.2001 be determined?
Whether the same should be calculated based on a valuation report obtained from a Registered Valuer or through any other suitable method as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act.

2. If a valuation report from a Registered Valuer is obtained, whether the report should reflect:
the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the property as on 01.04.2001, or (Because FMV is always higher)
the Circle Rate/Collector Rate prevailing on that date.

3. Since the property was agricultural land as on 01.04.2001 and was converted into residential plot at a later stage, whether the valuation report should be prepared considering the nature of land as:
Agricultural Land, or
Residential Plot.

4. As the valuation report will be prepared during FY 2026-27 for a property sold in October 2025, kindly clarify whether the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 or the Income Tax Act, 2025 would be applicable for determining the valuation and computation of capital gains.

You are requested to kindly suggest the most appropriate and legally acceptable approach so that we may proceed accordingly.

Regards
