Respected colleagues,
I would like to seek clarification regarding the determination of the cost of acquisition of a property for capital gains purposes.

The property was originally purchased in 1997 as agricultural land and was subsequently converted into residential plot after obtaining CLU approval. The property was sold in October 2025.

In this regard, I have the following queries:

1. How should the cost of acquisition as on 01.04.2001 be determined?
Whether the same should be calculated based on a valuation report obtained from a Registered Valuer or through any other suitable method as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act.

2. If a valuation report from a Registered Valuer is obtained, whether the report should reflect:
the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the property as on 01.04.2001, or (Because FMV is always higher)
the Circle Rate/Collector Rate prevailing on that date.

3. Since the property was agricultural land as on 01.04.2001 and was converted into residential plot at a later stage, whether the valuation report should be prepared considering the nature of land as:
Agricultural Land, or
Residential Plot.

4. As the valuation report will be prepared during FY 2026-27 for a property sold in October 2025, kindly clarify whether the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 or the Income Tax Act, 2025 would be applicable for determining the valuation and computation of capital gains.

You are requested to kindly suggest the most appropriate and legally acceptable approach so that we may proceed accordingly.

Regards

Now i am going to join a new concern, but they informed me that they are unable to continue my EPF facilities as my joining salary to this concern will be more than INR 15000. Is it technically correct? They only liable to deduct PTAX from my salary ? Please comment.
