1.son can give possession of property to mohter free? will it amount to transfer of property for inadequate consideration?
Gift of property to mother can be made without consideration. Question of inadequate consideration arises when the asset is transferred to the spouse, or son's wife.

2. How can i show my client in her Book?
I think the question has wrongly been drafted by you. You can show rental income in her books and will be taxed under the head of Incomme from House Property, provided the property is not a vacant plot of land.
1.suppose son gave property to mother for inadequate consideration, it will not become gift. in that case who will be the owner? because as you told 'Question of inadequate consideration arises when the asset is transferred to the spouse, or son's wife'.
2. sorry sir, second quesion drafted wrongly instead of How can i show my client income in her Book, i drafted exclude 'income'.

If the property has been transferred to mother, by executing necessary documents, at what ever consideration, OR AS A GIFT, then mother will be the owner.
Gift is definitely the best way.
In case of property transferred to spouse or son's wife for inadequate consideration, the owner will be the transferee but income will be clubbed in the hands of the person transferring the asset.
