Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to calculate capital gains tax when selling an ancestral property. The key is to determine the property's fair market value as of April 1, 2001, using a registered valuer's report. This value, along with any costs incurred for the sale and improvements made before 2001, will be indexed to calculate the capital gain. The final tax liability will depend on individual investments made to reduce the taxable gain.

You have to take year 2001, as base year for Cost of Indexation and for Calculation of Capital Gain .
Take valuation report from redg. valuer from incometax dept. as on 1/4/2001
apply indexation to that value
apply cost incurred for transfer
apply additions of improvement before indexation

that will be capital gain of each
apply deductions in investment if any
tax will be 20 percent on capital gain if any after specified investment
You have to Find out the Value of Said property in 2001, from registered Valuer.
Take FMV as in 01.04.2001 as purchase value.
