Pls Help me out in the following case:-
There is an assessee who has transferred his flat to his spouse without consideration. Now the said flat is in spouse's name & during the year the said flat has been sold. The sale consideration is received in the assessee's name & not in spouse's name. The assessee wishes to claim capital gain deduction u/s.54EC in his return. Now since the flat was in his spouse's name can he claim deduction u/s.54EC in his name?
