as per section 49(1), period of previous owner will be counted while counting the period of holding. also, with reference to explanation to section 42(2A), cost of previous owner will be the cost to the assessee.
you can take the fair market value as on 01.04.1981 as base value in 1996 and calculate the indexed cost in the year of sale based on the indexation of 1996. also, you can add the indexed cost of improvements to the house property (if any).
the difference between the above calculated cost and the sale value will be the Long Term Capital Gain for the assessee and will be accordingly taxable.
You can reduce your tax liability by taking a higher value of the property as on 01.04.1981.
if you dont get a value as on 01.04.1981, you will have to take Rs. 12000/- as the value in 1996. which will not help you to reduce your liability.
