One of My client being an Individual has acquired a Shop under Gift from His elder Brother in year 2004-05 for Rs.700000/- Previously his brother was constructed the said Shop in 2000-01.
Now the said Gifted Shop is sold in Year 2010-11 for Rs.1200000/-
Now the query is as i)From which year the indexing is to be counted ie year2000-01 or 2004-05. ii)If the capital gain as long term from sale of Shop after indexing is invested in Another ready Shop whether the same can be exempted u/s 54F or not or he liable for capital gain tax.

As far as Indexation is concerned the year in which Assesses received the gift will be taken in to the consideration. Hence for the year 2004-05 will be taken in to the consideration.
