Capital gain on sale of ancestors gold

298 views 1 replies
hello everyone

My client have some gold from his ancestors. Now he is selling this gold. So what would be the cost of acquisition?
Whether it should be NIL or FMV as on 01.04.2001 because as per section 55 there is a option available to assessee to take FMV as on 01.04.2001 as cost of acquisition.

Thank you.
