Sales consideration - 1200000 (-) index cost of acquisition ( 6000 * 280 / 100 ) 16800 Taxable LTCG 1183200
capital gain = sales - index cost of acquisition (a) Index cost of acquisition = Actual purchase price *( Index in year of sale / index in year of purchase ). (b) Index cost of acquisition = Fair market value on the year 2001 * ( Index in year of sale / index in year of purchase ).
If the purchase made before 2001, the fair market value for the year 2001 shall be taken on purchase price. In your case you should find the Fair market value for the year 2001 and follow above working of (b).
indexation on 2018-19 = 280 indexation on 2001-02 = 100

To determine the FMV of the property as on 01/04/2001, the following options may be considered.
Report of a Valuation Officer or a Registered valuer or an overseer or a surveyor or an assessor. [Most people prefer report of a registered valuer.]
You may ask the registrar/sub-registrar of that area where your land was situated to provide you the details of the transactions which occurred on or around 01/04/2001, and from there you may calculate WEIGHTED AVERAGE price. For e.g. if 2 transactions took place 1 @ Rs.10,00,000 @ say x acres 2 @ Rs. 30,00,000 @ say y acres Then weighted average price per acre would be (10,00,000+30,00,000)/ (x+y) acres. Now apply this weighted average price to your area (per acre) and compute its value as on 01/04/2001.
