Under which act it was acquired? CBDT issued circular dated 25.10.16 vide circular no.36/2016 ..... where in CBDT has clarified that the Compensations received in respect of award or agreement which has been exempted from levy of Income Tax vide section 96 of the RFCTLARR Act shall also not be taxable under the provision of income tax, 1961 even if there is no provision of exemption for such compensation under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

For second part, he can give any such amount as gift to his family members without any tax liability, once the assessment over acquisition is over.
