Capital gains in gifted property

 

My dad had gifted me a commercial shop property in 2020 (15/09/2020) which he had purchased in 1999 now i want to sell the property in 2021.Will this attract capital gains tax as this is short term selling and if yes can i take deductions by purchasing a residential property.

Quick Summary
When you receive a property as a gift, the holding period for Capital Gains Tax purposes starts from when the original owner purchased it. Therefore, selling a gifted property, even if you received it recently, will likely be treated as a long-term capital gain. You may be able to claim exemptions, such as Section 54F, if you reinvest the proceeds into a residential property.

It will be long term capital gain. period of holding on case of gifted property will be from the date of purchase of previous owner who gifts that property.
Yes, it would result in long term capital gain. You may avail exemption u/s 54F if you buy a residential property.
Yes it should be treated as LTCG
Purchase Value on 1999 -have some exception -I think.
