10 October 2012 The capital gain will be taxed in the hands of 13 people. Cost to the previous owner or valuation as on 1/4/1981 may be taken as the cost. To nullify the tax, exemptions u/s 54, 54F or 54EC may be sought for.

10 October 2012 The cost to the very first owner of the land should be taken as cost of acquisition.Also there is an option to take the cost as on 1/4/1981. For that get a valuation certificate from a registered valuer. Indexed cost of All the capital expenditure incurred by the previous owners and the current owners will also be allowed as deduction. Exemption from so arrived capital gain can be claimed under the sections specified by amol sir.
