19 August 2018 Dear Sir

My father in law had constructed 4 floors and gifted each floor to his 3 daughter's in year 2012 and in one he is himself staying. My wife also the recipient of the floor via gift deed in year 2014. In the year 2018 my wife sold the property in June 2018 at a consideration due to finance requirements .

Kindly advise if the proceeds are taxable as per law since the property was inherited.

If yes what is the way to save tax.

Thanks
