10 May 2013 It will be a transfer of asset in the hands of the husband, but exempted transfer, as it is a constitutes the gift.

Hence no capital gain in the hands of the husband.

10 May 2013 Under Section 56(2)(vii) it is exempted under the hand of receiver (wife) and further it is not a transfer within the meaning of section 47 as non consideration for transfer is arising here. Thus no tax impact in hand of transfer (husband) as well.
