04 November 2010 This is a Long Term Capital gain LTCG as the holding period is more than 36 months.
Take the value of the property as on 01.04.1981 from the government or Rs.6000, being the cost of property to the previous owner whichever is beneficial (higher amount) that would be the notional value of cost of the property.
After indexation benefit deduct this amount from Net sales proceeds (Direct expences incurred in sale of property only -this is net sale amount)
You can claim the exemption U/s 54 or 54F of the Income Tax Act,1961
