The cost of acquisition for Mr. H will be the cost price paid by his father in 1985. He may claim exemption and save LTCG.

The first owner cost will be cosnidered as his cost of acquisition. From that indexed cost of acquistion will apply.. By purchaseing new residential house(Section 54) and deposited in NHAI bonds(54EC) he can claim dedution & can save LTCG.
