ONI own a plot since the 1970s. We built on it in 1990 through a builder, and got 1 flat + some compensation for it. The plot is still in my name.
I want to sell the flat + title of the plot (even though FSI is consumed). Calculating the indexed value of the flat is not a problem since I had got a valuation done in 1991 for wealth tax reasons.
I am getting conflicting reports on the indexing of the land, because the land is on 998 year lease. Can I index leased land, or does the entire compensation attributed to land have to be reinvested?
Thank you.

Thanks, Ashal. Is this also valid for a “perpetual” lease of 998 years? (I should have highlighted this data earlier).
Dear Som R, the plot of land is not a free hold one & hence you are merely transferring your lease right. In this case whatever capital gains ‘ll be there, full compensation is to be invested into a new residential property under section 54F if you want to save Tax outgo.
thanks
Ashal
