20 July 2011 1) make a schedule of gold in terms of weight purity and name

viz .....1 No necklace .22 carat .......18.775 grams

2) no need to get valuation on present date, it would be cost in hands of previous owner, and get their declaration only regarding valuation.

3) untill sold, there is no tax implication or capital gain, so revaluation at current date will entitle him to pay capital gain tax,

4) get a certificate from mother regarding handover of such gold as gift, countersigned by all members of family

5) such receipt ( at cost in hands of previous owner) would be direct capital receipt and would not invite any tax.
