    Dear TSShah, please contact Govt. approved valuers in your city to provide the valuation of the said property in April 1981. Once this value is there with, you can calculate your tax liability.

    contact a CA or a lawyer dealing in income tax. they will guide you in getting a letter from some local authority on the format.
    I am not sure what was the proof you had to claim ownership on the house that you sold.
