Tax on sale of gold

Hi
Client sold jewelry worth 12 lakhs during FY 2019-20, but there is no purchase bill or any evidence for purchase cost. What is to be done in that case for calculating capital gain?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to calculate capital gains tax when selling gold jewellery without original purchase bills. Without proof of the purchase cost, the entire sale amount may be considered taxable. It's suggested to explore any available bank entries and try to establish an approximate purchase cost to present to the tax officer.

Coat shall be the considered as the market value of gold at the time of...purchase... but it can only be possible if bill does not contain price , here in the case bill is missing hence entire sale amount shall be taxable
Are there bank entries.

do you know approximate cost etc. ? year of purchase. you have to convince tax officer.
For sale there is a bank entry, but for purchase there is no track, since it was many years ago
