08 February 2017 For calculation of capital gain, index cost of acquisition is to be taken in which property has been bought by an assessee. Purchase transaction of property occurred when the rights and entitlement of property is transferred by seller to the buyer. In case of immovable property, it is presumed that rights and entitlement is transferred to the buyer when the registration of property is done. So, in your case, you can take the year of acquisition as 2010 and not 1992.

Thanks
