   I think income from selling of ancestral property is not taxable. But in case it is not clear whether you transferred money from your grand father’s bank account or transferred from third party(purchaser). If money transfer is from 3rd party to your account then it is taxable as per the tax slab. If as per your constant income you are in tax slab of 30% then 3.33 lac need to be paid as tax.

   Income tax slabs 2011-2012 for General tax payers
   Yearly Income Tax Rate
   Rs. 0 to 1,80,000 No Tax (0 %)
   Rs. 1,80,001 to 5,00,000 10%
   Rs. 5,00,001 to 8,00,000 20%
   Above Rs. 8,00,000 30%

   As specified above you need to pay accordingly. You need to add your annual income for that year + 10 lac and then calculate tax accordingly.
   But I would again suggest to hire a tax consultant if there is any way to proove that income was from inherited property then you can save tax completely for this 10 lac.
