on sale cost of property take as pervious owner your mother cost if your mother take gift or as legal hire then previous owner before you mother .
and you take property in sept -2011 if you are sale today april-14 then you take property less than 36 month so it treat short term capital gain.
profit = 1100000- cost of your mother or cost of owner form your mother take property-exp of tfr= profit, if remain

only one issue: as explanation 1(i)(b) to section 2(42A), read with section 49(1)(ii) the period of for which your mother held the house is also to be included in for considering the holding period. Accordingly, you should not suffer from short term capital gains.
