Capital gains on Sale of Transferred shares

If shares are transferred to a spouse without consideration (as a gift), the resulting capital gains are taxable in the husband's hands due to clubbing provisions and cannot be set off against the wife's carried-forward capital losses. To utilize the wife's losses, the transfer must be made for adequate consideration, making the gains taxable in the wife's hands.
