Quick Summary
When selling a property purchased before April 1st, 2001, you can use either the original purchase price or the Fair Market Value (FMV) as of 01-04-2001 to calculate your long-term capital gains. To find the FMV, you can consult your local municipal office or sub-registrar's office. Using the FMV can potentially reduce your taxable capital gains, especially if the property value has significantly increased.

First you have to take FMV from your nearest municipal office.

suppose you FMV is 120000.
COA-120000x280/100=336000.

or you can take FMV 90000
coa- 90000x280/100=252000
You can get the fair market value from the sub registrar office

If cost of acquisition is 2.8 times more than cost of FMV there will no where be any LTCG meaning that no tax to government
