26 December 2015 This not reply to my question.

28 December 2015 (a) Cost of acquisition will be the cost to your mother.
(b) Date of acquisition will be the date on which your mother acquired the flat. I am guessing that your mother had the flat for more than 36 months. If that is the case then you can sell it immediately and it will be long-term gain.
(c) The flat will be considered as a second flat if you have any other flat in your name. However, if the flat is kept vacant throughout the year then there will be no taxable income from the flat.

02 January 2016 Mr Sunil,
But my mom's flat earlier was on rent. In this case how do I consider cost of acquisition. Flat on rent was purchased in 1961.

11 July 2016 It does not matter if the flat was on rent earlier. In your case cost of acquisition will be FMV on 1.4.1981.
