Quick Summary
Selling ancestral property is generally taxable, unlike inheriting it. If you've sold ancestral property and received the sale proceeds, capital gains tax will likely apply. To calculate long-term capital gains on a property where purchase details are unknown, use the property's circle rate from 01.04.2001 as the acquisition cost, index it to the current year, and subtract this from the sale amount.

Yes, taxable.                              

Sir pls explain

When you get ancestral property it is tax exempt, but when you sell it, it is taxable.

Ok sir, sir every time you solve my problem. thanks a lot sir .

You are welcome.              

Capital gain on sale of property is taxable
Sir please suggest to me how to calculate the long term capital gain as I am not knowing the date and purchase price of such property.

Get the circle rate of the property as on 01.04.2001, from sub-registrar office. Take it as the cost of acquisition, index it to current year that would be indexed cost of the property. Reduce the amount from the sale amount to get long term capital gain.

Ok sir, thanks a lot
