If a person transfer his house in the name of his spouse by way of gift, will gift tax be applicable on him?
06 August 2010
No gift tax applicable.
Clubbing provisions will apply u/s 64 and any income received by the spouse will be taxed in the hands of the person giving the gift.

Gift tax is history, or rather, was history.Finance Act 1998 had deleted Gift Tax Act w.e.f.1.10.98. Consequently, all gifts made on or after 1.10.98 do not attract any gift tax.
Neither the donor nor the donee would have to pay any gift tax. Finance Act 2004 has revived it partially, but it is in the form of donee-based Income tax instead of Gift Tax.
The clubbing provisions in the Income Tax Act 1961 and Wealth Tax Act, in this respect still continues as the same are not deleted. Therefore, income and wealth from assets transferred directly or indirectly without adequate consideration to minor children, the spouse (otherwise than in connection with an agreement to live apart) or daughter-in-law will continue to be deemed income and wealth of the transferor. Same is the case when assets are held by a person or an Association Of Persons for benefit of assesses, the spouse, daughter-in-law and minor children.
