Dear Sir, This is regarding Capital Gain Tax/Income tax on amount received as consideration towards partition of ancestral house/property. My wife's family house is being partitioned. The total value of the house and plot is Rs.54,53,000. This is being divided among the mother and eight children. Each receiving Rs. 6,07,000. One of the brother is compensating the other 8 members as consideration. In this scenario: 1. Does the amount received as compensation by members attract capital gain tax and/or income tax? If it does, what are the methods by which the member can save on capital gain tax and/or income tax?
