In answering the above query, I would like to know how the transaction was treated in the ITR of the husband for A.Y. 2010 - 11 (F.Y.2009 -10).
Was the transfer disclosed to the Department? Was it a sale or a gift? If gift was the relevant provisions of the I.T.Act followed?
Section 64 would apply for gifts to spouse and the income from the gifted amount would be clubbed in the hands of the donor. So if in Departmental Records the transfer was shown as gift, the Capital Gains would be taxable in the hands of the husband. The husband can claim indexation benefit from 1998 - 99 on Rs.175.000/- (pro-rata on payment from 1998-99) and on Rs.32,000 (201000-175000+6000) from 2009 - 10.
If the transfer was shown as an outright sale and accepted by the Department then the wife can claim indexation benefit from 2009 - 10 on Rs.207,000/- and the liability for payment of capital gains tax would be hers.

sir, actually it was transferred under family transfer and was realloted in wife name in 2009.
It was not disclosed in 2009 return of any person and neither any gift deed was made separtely. only conveyance deed was issued in name of wife and was registered with HUDA.
