Take Guidance value as of 01.04.2001 as cost of acquisition.

Take actual expenditures as of FY 2003-04, as cost of improvement.

Calculate the indexed costs as of the year 2021-22, to arrive at LTCG.

Thank you sir, but on 01-04-2001, the asset was not capital asset as it was agriculture land. 

That's true, but it had some value, as per Govt. Guidance. What you are selling is converted land, not the same.
