Capital gains tax

This query is : Resolved 

13 March 2021 My father (85 years old ) has sold land in 2021 which was acquired in 2003. He has three children. He is not interested in investing in any property in his own name. He wants to give sale proceeds to children equally. If children invests same in construction of their own house/buy a flat or land in their own name as per timelines, will this be allowed under capital gain tax. Kindly clarify.
If above is not possible, what is best way of investing sale proceeds. Kindly suggest.
Thanks


15 March 2021 No, investing by children cannot avail the benefit of exemption u/s 54 or 54F. Let your father invest in a house property. After that he can gift the property to his children.

21 March 2021 I have gone through the link you send. Thank you for such kind of new information. However, it seems that ITAT decision is an aberration from the settled law. You may risk and try your luck. ITAT decisions are bound to struck down by the HC always.

Your father can purchase house property in his name (max two houses u/s 54 upto Rs. 2 crores exemption) and can gift to you immediately. Gift is not a transfer u/s 47.
