In respect of capital asset acquired before 1st April, 2001 is there any special method to compute cost of acquisition?

Generally, the cost of acquisition of a capital asset is the cost incurred in acquiring the capital asset. It includes the purchase consideration plus any expenditure incurred exclusively for acquiring the capital asset. However, in respect of capital assets acquired before 1st April 2001, the cost of acquisition will be higher of the actual cost of acquisition of the asset or fair market value of the asset as on 1st April 2001. This option is not available in the case of a depreciable asset.
