Hello Sidh
Indexation Shall be from the year in which previous owner acquired the capital asset. This view has been affirmed by delhi high court as well as bombay high court. In one of my earlier posts I discussed about this in detail. You may check this link for further details of the case law- /forum/capital-gains-very-important-issue-for-nov-12-216069.asp#.UDTwKallQxE
