no, son won't be required to pay tax. however, father need to pay capital gains tax on land and going forward any income getting generated from the land will be taxable in the hands of son. the document will be completion of gift deed

First capital gains liability of father has to be checked. If the land sold was rural agricultural land, no tax liability over father; otherwise its taxable. Father should also file return.

For Son any amount of gift from father is tax-free u/s. 56(2)(x) of IT act, but the transfer should be through banking mode; and a gift deed to be made.
