the property is covered as ancestral property. so you are required to take cost of acquistion as value (Certified from registered valuer)as at 1/4/1981 as base & claim indexation over that value. 20 Lacs as sales consideration minus indexed cost of acquisition as calculated from above wil be your long term capital gain.
