As per the act, year of indexation is 2010-11.
But there are court decisions , one cited below among others, contrary to that meaning thereby 1981-82 can be taken.
Ms. Puspa Sofat's case reported in 81 ITD 1.

If the year of year of acquisition of the property is taken 1981-82 then no tax liability is fastened upon you.
