As the property was purchased before 2001, cost of acquisition can be actual cost incurred or stamp duty value (i.e. SDV) of the property as on 01.04.2001 whichever is higher. To get the SDV as on 01.04.2001 and of the current date, you can obtain valuation report from the govt. approved valuer. I think in Delhi, SDV is available from 2007. 

 

Benefit of indexation is available to resident only on sale of immovable on or after 23.07.2024

Any capital expenditure incurred post 01.04.2001 can be claimed as cost of improvement 

Transfer expenses incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of transfer are allowed as deduction from the full value of sale consideration 

There are many other points of consideration

For capital gains calculation on your Zamrudpur property:

With Indexation:

  • FMV as of 01.04.2001 (Base Year) is needed, determined by a registered valuer.
  • Cost Inflation Index (CII) for 2001-02 = 100. Latest CII (2024-25) to be used for indexation.

Without Indexation:

  • Capital gain = Sale price – ₹2,40,000 (purchase price in 1975).
  • FMV as of 01.04.2025 = Actual Sale Price.

Other Deductions:

  • Post-2001 improvements and transfer expenses deductible.
  • Indexation benefits available only to residents from 23.07.2024 onwards.

Consult a local valuer for exact FMV and mail me casgpj@gmail for precise calculations.

Property Valuation & Sale Process

  1. Valuation as of 01/04/2001

    • Since no official rates existed in 2001, a government-approved valuer is required for an accurate valuation.
    • The cost of valuation depends on the valuer’s fees and property specifics.

  2. Valuation as of 01/04/2025

    • The property value will be based on market trends and expert assessment at that time.

  3. Selling Without Legal Complications

    • Selling at a fair market value ensures compliance and avoids legal scrutiny.
