03 March 2011 assuming it is house

capital gain calculation:

full value of consideration
less: exclusive expenditure for sellig property
less: Indexed cost of acquisition
less: eligible deductions U/s 54,B,C ect,
= long term capital gain

Indexed cost:

assuming the asset is the property of the assesee before 1.4.1981 opt for actual cost / fair market value. take index of 1.4.1981 or the year of possession by the assessee(if after 1981)

deduction buy or cunstruct a house or invest in specified bonds or deposit in a bank

you can avoid capital gain by investing in another property or making deposit or purchasing specified bonds
