Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the capital gains tax implications for shares inherited from a deceased husband. The wife's holding period for calculating capital gains will include her husband's ownership period, starting from when he purchased the shares in 2017. The cost of acquisition for the wife will be the original cost incurred by her husband. Importantly, assets received via inheritance are generally not treated as a taxable transfer in the hands of the recipient.

In this case, it wouldn't be taxable in the hand of his wife. because assets received under will not treated as transfer.
Period of holding of previous owner i.e. husband will be considered.. 2017 to sale date is period of holding
