As per my opinion, Mr. X must show rent received from 1988. But now it is not possible to show it, so do not disclose this fact to income tax department and say that house was vacant. Now for current F.Y. you show as rent received and also transfer this house to Mr. relative and compute capital gain tax.

The second solution is that show this property as gift to relative and executive gift aid deed on 1988 Rs.100 stamp paper. But first check out whether it is come under relative definition as per Income tax act.
