17 October 2013 If you became the owner of the property before 1 April 1981, then you have the option choosing between fair market value or the actual cost to the previous owner (your father or your grand father) as the cost of the asset. However, if you became the owner after 1 April 1981, then FMV as on 1 April 1981 shall be considered as the cost of the house.

You may appoint a professional valuer to value the property. Thereon you may claim indexation benefit to arrive at the current cost of the house.

the difference between indexed cost and the sale receipt shall be your long term capital gains which is taxable at 20.60%.

You shall have the option of claiming exemption under Section 54 and 54EC.

17 October 2013 Agreed with above suggestions.
