Suppose I purchased a land for Rs. 10,00,000. Stamp duty and registration charges by me for Rs. 1,00,000. Brokerage paid by me for Rs. 10,000. After 2 year I sold this land for Rs. 15,00,000. What is cost of acquisition of land for calculating capital gain. Weather it is 10,00,000 or 11,10,000 (10,00,000+1,00,000+10,000) or 11,00,000 (10,00,000 +1,00,000) or 10,10,000 (10,00,000+10000) ?
