Quick Summary
This discussion explores the capital gains tax implications for selling agricultural land that was later converted for residential use. It addresses how to determine the cost of acquisition, considering the land's value in 1990, its guidance value in 2001, and the cost of conversion. The calculation of long-term capital gains (LTCG) is discussed, focusing on indexed costs up to the sale year.

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.
