Since this is a sale of Capital Asset held for more than 36 months the liability to pay any tax is requried to computed under the Head Long Term Capital Gains subject to provisions of section 54 of the Act.

To compute Capital Gains follow the following principal

Take the cost of acqisition at actual as per purchase deed of 2006 as increased by cost of acqusition like stamp duty paid and brokerage paid, if any. considering your acqusition at Rs. 1.00 lakh as mentioned
