My father bought a house property in 1968 comprising of two floors. He passed away in August 2001 w/out a leaving Will. Me & My elder brother thus became co-owners until we executed two mutual Release Deeds in October 2023 whereby each of us became sole owners of Ground & First Floors respectively. If the property were to be sold by both of us now to a single buyer, will the date of acquisition continue to be reckoned as 1968 ( original year of acquisition by our father ) being a legacy asset and thus eligible for Indexation benefit even post 23rd July 2024 ? In other words does indexation continue in respect of inherited properties where the original acquisition date is prior to 2001 ? Thanks in advance for your valuable opinion please.

Ans: 01. In case of Sale of property by one or both of you, to a single buyer, its date of purchase shall remain 1968 only.
02. In the instant case, you would be entitled to the benefit of Indexation.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Sir I inherited a plot of land in 2003, which was purchased by my father in 1995. I am planning to sell the plot. My question is whether I will get indexation benefit on LTCG tax or not?

Ans: No, In the Budget Proposal Indexation benefit is removed for property transferred from 23rd July 2024. However, cost of acquition for calculation of capital gain can be FMV as on 1.4.2001 or stamp duty value as on 1.4.2001 (whichever is lower)
