11 May 2019 My father and his friend bought property jointly. My father has passed away. His friend agreed to transfer his 50% share in the property to us legal heirs without any consideration. We accordingly executed release deed in favor of us legal heirs without consideration. Can this execution of release deed and transfer of property share to legal heirs from non-blood relative constitue transfer under the income tax and whether any tax payable by legal heirs on this transfer of share in immovable property?
