Quick Summary
If you've sold very old shares where the original purchase cost is unknown, you can use the Fair Market Value (FMV) as of April 1, 2001, or the actual cost of acquisition, whichever is higher, as your cost basis for capital gains tax. You can find historical share prices on the BSE or NSE websites to determine this FMV. Indexation benefits will apply, using 2001 as the base year.

Cost of acquisition or fair market value as on 01.04.2001 whichever is more beneficial is to be taken as cost of acquisition.

 

How to know FMV of these share 

Take the High Figure on 01.04.2001. Go to NSE --- Search for scrip - Go to Archives
