The Indexation would be taken from 2006-2007 for the computation..
The Capital gain arising out from it you can claim exemption under sec 54B.
However, If you wish to purchase other residential property you can claim exemption under sec 54F. However, in this case you have to invest the whole proceed of the sale instead of just capital gain...
In case you are unable to utilize the sale proceed you can deposit the capital gain into Capital Gain Deposit Scheme before the due date of filing the return U/S 139{1}..
