Tax on income gained from selling of inherited property

This query is : Resolved 

09 March 2008 My mother aged 63 years, has inherited a capital amount of Rs.5 lacs from a transaction of the house in owned by her father (not alive now) which is now owned by my uncle.

Could you let me know what kind of tax will this attract ?
Is the entire amount taxable ? If not, how much has to be reinvested to make it tax-free.

What are the reinvestment options to make this money completely tax-free ?

09 March 2008 Details not clear. Are you saying that she received a compensation by way of family settlement regarding inherited properties?

R.V.RAO

10 March 2008 As the property has been inherited the cost to the previous owner (person from whom inherited ) would be the cost of acquisition .

However, if the property has been acquired by the previous owner before April 1, 1981, then the Fair Market Value (market price) as on this date needs to be considered.

What if the FMV is higher or lower than the original cost? Then the higher figure is taken into account.
