06 February 2012 for the conversion she'll be liable to be taxed in CG, the taxability will be postponed till actual sale,

so in fy2010-11, she'll pay ltcg on
Sale Consideration 160
-ICOA
(100*582/519) (112.13)
LTCG ~48 per share

the second part of calculation will be under b&p
200-160=40 per share
so 40*10000=40000-10000stt
