The plot seems to be unlucky. Mr A died within 6 months. . Mrs A is advised not to transfer the said plot to the sad mother. It's a family matter. If Mrs A sales the plot, Stamp Duty and Short Term Capital Gains Tax is required to be paid from the family funds. . Mother of A is also quite old now. She can easily be pleased only by words as she knows that her deceased son had already left for heavenly abode without fetching a square feet of land with him. .
