Quick Summary
When selling land and a building constructed on it, capital gains tax is calculated by combining the cost of the land and the construction costs. For the land's cost of acquisition, you should use its Fair Market Value (FMV) as of 1st April 2001, and apply indexation. The construction cost is treated as an improvement cost, also subject to indexation.

You have to club together cost of land and cost of construction and apply indexation accordingly from effective date.

Land cost here will be FMV as on 1-4-2001
Thank you mam
For cost of acquisition of land take FMV as on 01/04/2001 and apply INDEXATION. for construction of building take it as cost of improvement and apply INDEXATION
