DEAR EXPERT I WANT TO KNOW WHTHER IT WILL BE LIABLE FOR CAPITAL GAIN OR EXEMPT. SALE OF JEWELLARY OF WOMEN RECEIVED AT THE TIME OF MARRAIGE 25 YAERS BACK.
As per my opinion firstly you have to get valuation report for gold jewellary from valuer for respective year after that apply cost inflation Index and find the capital gain

Jewellery is a capital asset as defined in Section 2(14).
Accordingly capital gain shall arise on the sale of jewellery.
The gain will be long term or short term depending on the period of holding.
If the asset is held for 36 months or more, it will be long term capital gain/loss and if it has been held for a period of less than 36 months, then it will be short term capital gain/loss.
