22 February 2011 Dear Sir
I purchased a flat on 20.03.1996 for Rs.420000/-.I also spent Rs.50700/- as stamp duty at that time.Now i have sold that flat for Rs.2500000/- on 13.12.2010.I have two questions in my mind which are as under:-

1.While calculating the amount of capital gains the amount spent by me on stamp duty will also be added in the value of flat i.e Rs.420000/- or not.
2.If yes then please oblige me by telling the amount of capital gains.
Thanking you.
