Dear Vidhi,
This would depend on whether you have used the revaluation to affect your P&L account or to set off against profits in the end of the year.
In case you have taken this effect, then your purchase cost would be Rs. 80.
However, if you are showing Share trading as an investment and not a business, then you can avail of STCG and use the purchase cost as Rs. 100.
Hope this helps.
