The compulsory acquisition of land and the compensation paid thereon would attract capital gains u/s 45 of the Income Tax act.You can deduct the cost of acquisition from the sale price. The cost can also be indexed to take care of the inflation and reduction in value of money.If the land was acquired before 1-4-81 then the Fair Market Value (FMV)on 1-4-81 can be substituted in the place of cost. If you have done any improvment then that can also be added to cost with indexation.

The rate of tax shall be 20% if you have held the land for at least 3 years before the date of sale.
