Yes, it will attract capital gain. without exercising options u/s 54, its not possible to minimise tax liability. Kindly note that date of transfer of land as a gift will be considered as date of acquisiton for Mr X not date on which land was purchased his father. You can take Fair Market Value as on 1st April, 1981 as a cost of acquisition of land.
