Property received as gift

CA Sankalp Patwa (CA) (193 Points)

26 July 2012  

My client has received a property via a gift deed for Rs.4530000/-. Now after some years he sold it to someone for Rs.11000000.

In cases of gift cost to the previous owner is considered for the purpose of calculation of capital gain which is only Rs.164000/- without indexation.

Now my query is whether I can take Rs.4530000/- as part of cost of acquisition or not.

 

Please help me.

Its urgent.
