Hi My father purchase ist and barsati floor in 1986 @ 2 lac... He made 3rd floor construction... We dont have construction expenses bills Now he want to sell@ 10 lac each floor to 3 indiviual buyers, means total 30 lac sale considration ., how it can be shown in income tax... Will 2 lac buy value is divide in 3 floor?

Ans: 01. As per details provided in the question, your Cost for all the three Flats is Rs.2,00,000.00 only. This is due to lack of documentary evidence about Cost of Construction (Bills & Source of Finance etc.).
02. LTCG tax may be comparativly less, if you opt for LTCG calculation without Indexation.
03. I would suggest you to get a Certificate of an Architect, who would certify the cost of your property as on 01.04.2001. You may treat this as your Cost for 3 flats and work out your tax details.
Most welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.
