16 February 2016 Let us study your problem under the following two heads of income: 1. Capital gains in the hands of your brother / his estate: Firstly...the nature of receipt is capital receipt. Second....though it is a transfer and not directly excluded as gift, will etc. indirectly excluded in section 49. Answer: Your brother / his estate not liable for capital gains. 2.
