HI Nirmal, shares are long term in the hands of your daughter. when u transfer to your name in order to sell. they will be considered as short term in your hands. and being expempt as long term capital gains, STT on the sale is sufficient.
incase u want to transfer shares in you name, hold them as a trustee being the minor daughter as a benefiary. and the check the the way to sell out the shares.
as far my knowledge i concerned, STT has been removed from the current financial year i.e. 2010-11. so normal taxes on long term capital gains would apply. however please consult other views as well.

Nirmal... can you tell the value of the shares.
If its a huge amount than will think to reduce tax. and if its a small amount than do transfer to your name by application to the company and ask them to dematerialise it directly to your account. Than can sell directly online and it will be taxed in your hand with LTCG or stcg depends upon the date which company puts.
