Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications when selling a property inherited from your mother. Key points include determining the cost of acquisition, which can be the original purchase price or the fair market value as of April 1st, 2001, if purchased before that date. Indexation can be claimed from the year of the first purchase, allowing you to adjust the cost for inflation up to the sale date.

Yes indexation can be claimed from year of first purchase (as per a decided case)
In this case as purchase is before 2001 you can take indication of 2001..
Adopt FMV of house property as on 01-04-2001 and calculate indexation
Cost of acquisition for previous owner will be the cost of acquisition for the present owner.
as the property is bought before 2000-01, take market value (stamp duty value) as cost of acquisition. calculate indexation.

Please also let me know Formula to apply indexation . What is index value of 2001 and 2021 applicable ?
