1. The land in question falls within 8 Kms of municipal corporation limits.
2. The land is an ancestral property transferred through generations and hence, original purchase cost is unknown.
If compensation is subject to capital gains, how does one compute it given that cost of purchase is unknown?
Appreciate your replies.

Thanks for your reply.
As the land in question violate the condition 'The gain should arise from transfer of agricultural land situated in any area referred to in section 2(14)(iii)(a) or 2(14)(iii)(b)' as it falls within 8 Kms of municipal limits, will it be subject to capital gains then? As original cost of purchase is unknown, how does one compute capital gains?
