You held or holding the property for approximately a year or less. Hence, the asset you held is a short term capital asset (holding for a period equal to or less than 36 months). Any gain on transfer from such an asset is short term capital gain.
In your case the sale consideration is Rs. 24 lakhs; The cost of acquisition is Rs. 14 lakhs + extra work agreement as entered by you with your builder for carrying additional work for example ceiling, flooring, cup-boards etc. The net amount is your gain or loss. You may also deduct selling expenses from the consideration.
