is assesse's name there in the new asset?

Generally assesee will not get section 54 benefit. But Karnataka high court decided otherwise in Mrs. Jenifer Bhide's case. (203 Taxman 208).
06 July 2017
similar judgements are passed by Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai HC as well
06 July 2017
..Only son and wife of assessee are named in the agreement...

He will not get the exemption u/s 54.
If the stake is high, then you may elect to take a chance of the case law mentioned above.

Thanks..but just taking our discussion forward..
1. What if the assessee gifts the residential property to his son (son is major) and his son sells the property and claims deduction u/s.54.
2. And how the gains will be taxed in the hands of son.. as Short Term Gain or Long Term Gain.. as he himself is not holding the asset for 3 years or more..

in the case of gift, the period of holding shall include the period of the donor as well
07 July 2017
So it will be Long Term Capital Gain.. in the hands of son and he will be eligible to claim deduction u/s 54....
Thanks a lot..
Thanks a lot..

yes, definitely.....when son sells the gifted property....the capital gain shall be long term

The Gift received by the son wont be taxed in the hands of son as the gift received is from relative(father)..
07 July 2017
yes, absolutely right.....the gift is non taxable...
