I am about to sell a property in my name. There will be some taxable capital gain on it. I have booked a flat in the name of my wife under CLP Plan where she is the only person named in the agreement. Can I pay the installments from the consideration I receive from the sale of property and avoid capital gain tax. Further, we have taken home loan on the booked flat where I am a co-borrower. Can I use a portion of the money I receive to repay the loan. Will this be considered as capital investment and hence no capital gains tax be levied?
