Sub: Long Term Capital Gains

A three storied building stands in a 750sq.yd plot. The ground floor was inherited by me thru WILL. The first floor was inherited by my brother again thru WILL in 1997. The second floor was inherited by my sister again thru WILL 1994.
All three of us have together made a Development Agreement and the 3 storied structure was demolished. In its place a 5 storied apartment complex has come up in 2011. My brother, me & my sister have each got one floor, that is two apartments. The builder has got two floors that is 4 apartments.

Now, if I decide to sell one apartment, what shoul I take as the PURCHASE / ACQUIRED cost  since I got it thru WILL ? 
The selling price today (Market Price) is 34 lakhs.
What is the way to account for Cost Price in the LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS process in my case  ?

in case of inheritence...cost in ur hands would b 0 hence the cost in the hands of the original owner will b counted...

The one third cost price of the property incurred by your father shall be cost price to you for the purpose of calculation of  long term capital gains tax

Original cost i.e. cost to the father + cost of improvement i.e. cost of building the appartment.

The property consists of three floors each floor owneed by three  different legal persons. As such only one third cost of the property incurred by your father (including ofcourse the cost of i,provement if any) shall be your cost.
