1. Cost can be taken as the fair market value of the property as on 1/4/1981 by virtue of section 55(2)(b)(ii) of the Income tax Act,1961. For this a valuation as on 1/4/1981 may be obtained from an approved valuer. Let me assume the FMV as on 1/4/1981 as per the above said valuation is10,00,000/- 2. Indexed cost is10,00,000/- X 632 / 244 =25,90,164/- 3. Capital gains =52,00,000/- minus25,90,164/- = 26,09,836/- 4.Tax without indexation is not permitted by law. 5. Income tax @ 20 % and cess and secondary and higher education cess @ 3% on tax =5,37,626/-
N.B:- If you do not have any income other than capital gains basic exemption can be deducted from capital gains before arriving the income tax as calculated above.
