When a member of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) receives a property as a gift and subsequently sells it, the capital gains tax is chargeable in the hands of the member. The HUF itself is not liable for this capital gain, as the transfer to the member is considered a gift. Therefore, the individual member is responsible for declaring and paying the capital gains tax on the sale of the gifted property.
