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. Income from other sources in your hands: U/s 56(2)(vii) ....'inheritance' is excluded specifically from taxable 'other income'. Hence, not taxable in your hands.
