If a father gifts a residential property to a Son and afterwards Son sells the Gifted property and earns CG on that property.

Will son be able to get Sec 54 exemption for purchase or construction of new residential property?.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies capital gains tax (CGT) implications when a residential property is gifted. It confirms that a son can claim Section 54 exemption for purchasing or constructing a new home if he sells a gifted property and incurs a capital gain. It also addresses the scenario where a father sells a property, incurs CGT, and gifts the proceeds to his sons, concluding that the father remains liable for the CGT.

Yes son can get exemption u/s 54 for gifted property
Thanks Sourav.

If a father sells the property and earns CG on that (Assuming there is no new residential property or construction) and distributes the consideration to Sons as a gift.

whether Consideration will be liable to CG tax ? And in whose hands?

My view is father will be liable for CG tax and not the sons . Correct if there is any gap in understanding.
In that case CG tax will be imposed on the hands of your father
