I found many cases while filing of Tax returns where old tax regime was beneficial for the assessee.

Sir, I had inherited a share in my father's property after his death. This property was purchased by father in 1967. No record of purchase price available. Last year in October 2024 I transferred my rights to my brother for ₹ 18 lakhs. I have no other income and not filing IT returns. Am I liable for LTCG?

Ans: hi,
yes you are liable to pay LTCG as transfer of share in inherent property is also treated as asset in Income Tax Act.
in your case you can use Fair market value for the base year for calcuation purposes i.e. for 01/04/2001.
Thanks
