Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of flats given as gifts. For the transferor, capital gains tax is generally not applicable as a gift isn't considered a sale. However, for the transferee, if the immovable property is received without consideration and its stamp value exceeds £50,000, it will be taxable under the head 'income from other sources'.

Gift is not transfer under section 47..so in the hands of transferor. capital gain will not attract
Thanks! and in the hands of transferee?
As per sec 56(2)(x)..in the hands of transferee
if any immovable property received without consideration..the stamp value of that property is taxable.in head of income from other source
