Capital gain on sale of ancestral gold

258 views 1 replies
My client have some ancestral gold. Now he is selling this gold. So what would be the cost of acquisition for calculating capital gain ?
Whether it should be NIL or FMV as on 01.04.2001 because as per section 55 there is a option available for assessee to take FMV as on 01.04.2001 as cost of acquisition.

Thank you.
