I had a flat gifted to me by mother. The share of gift was 50% in the flat. She was the only owner of the flat till the time she gifted me half share. We had also registered the flat. Now we have sold the flat and received the sales proceeds. I have a query whether I will be eligible for Capital gains tax in the gifted property and will have to invest in some other property in order to save Capitals gain tax. The gift deed was entered in 2010 and flat was sold in 2016.
