Someone please suggest
My wife had a share in her mother's property
Which was got registered by her brothers in their name. Now they agree to give her share.
Should we make gift deed or sharing agreement papers to save income tax.
Thanks

12 July 2025 Release Deed can be made, but LTCG based on the difference of purchased cost and today's circle rate will be applicable.

12 July 2025 but why would LTCG apply if they can just gift it?

If they agree on gift deed, then we don't have to pay on LTCG. So, gift deed is better option for taking money against share in property?
