Hi Raman, you have two options. first, take Rs. 20,000 as cost. second, find out the fair value as on 1.4.1981 referring to stamp duty slab. then do the indexing as Cost / Fair value/100*632. the difference between sales consideration Rs. 4,28,000 and the indexed cost is long term capital gain. AND let the AO decide whether it is the right amount of consideration or note. Regards, CA SHakuntala Chhangani
