Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the income tax implications of selling property inherited from a mother. It confirms that capital gains tax is applicable, calculated based on the sale value minus the original cost of acquisition. For assets purchased before April 1, 2001, the Fair Market Value (FMV) as of that date can be used for calculation, and long-term capital gains (LTCG) are taxed at 20% with indexation benefits.

LTCG will be applicable on your case @ 20% with indexation benefit
Capital gain will be sale value minus cost of acquisition to the original buyer that is your mother. since asset is prior to 01-04-2001, you are eligible to adopt FMV of inherited asset prevaling as on 01-04-2001.
