Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications when a husband purchases property in his wife's name using his own funds, and she later sells it. Even if the wife signs the sale deed, the income generated from the sale might be considered taxable in the husband's hands under income clubbing provisions, especially if the original purchase was funded by him and no formal gift deed was in place. The key is determining the beneficial owner and the source of funds.

Who sold the land? Who was signing as owner of the land in the sale document?

Profits/gains would be assessed in the owner's ITR....

Actually that land was purchased from a 3rd party by Mr.X in the name of his wife. Hence  while selling his wife signed as owner in the sale deed.

Receiving funds to his account is not alone the criteria to consider income.Need to see the owner & other aspects .

Since the ultimate is source to buy the land is from his earnings.So it may come in application / diversion of income.

If there is no gift deed then it will be taxable in the hands of Me.X

Thank you all for ur prompt reply.

Even there is gift deed to wife income arising out of sale is still come under clubbing provision and will be taxed to husband

Who sold the land and in what perspective?
The owner of the property receives the income.
