Gift from Spouse

Property(gift) received from Spouse(relative) is exempt from tax - sec 56         but i have a doubt...

whether clubbing povisions U/S 64(1)(iv) affect this??

Is there any possible way to receive property from spouse without attracting tax or clubbing???

No agreement to live apart and not adequate consideration..

no 64(a)(iv) does not affect this. the only possibility is that property must be transferred before marriage

Mr.Mukund

i think Sec 64(1)(iv) do affect gift from spouse(property)

According to me if any gift is given to the wife by husband without or inadequate consideration then income generated by the wife using that gift shall be clubbed in the income of the husband. Except exempted gifts.

 

sec 64(1)(iv) is for other than house property.

s..Suchitra i agree with you.....

What about Property transferred to Spouse?

Is there any way to gift property without attracting tax and clubbing provisions?

as I already said No agreement to live apart and not adequate consideration.

Property does not only mean House property, any other asset generating income in future..

as per sec 64 (1)(iv), when an individual transfers any asset other than house property to his spouse otherwise than for adequate consideration or condition to live apart, then income arising from such transferred asset shall be clubbed in the hands of the individual. so property can be transferred without since the clubbing provision do not apply for house property

so property can be transferred without tax liability* since the clubbing provision do not apply for house property

Section 64(1)(iv) do not apply to house property.

agree with you all.... but what about  property other than HP?

They all will be covered under section 64(1)(iv). Let me tell you what does section 64(1)(iv) says:

Where an asset (other than house property) is transferred by an individual to his spouse directly or indirectly, otherwise than for adequate consideration or in connection with an agreement to live apart, any income from such asset is deemed to be the income of the transferor.

I hope now your doubt will be cleared.

so No way of escaping from tax and/or clubbing - right Mr.shudhanshu.....

so, No way of escaping from tax and/or clubbing, if asset is transferred to spouse- right Mr.shudhanshu.....

 

yeah, because the person who have created Income Tax are our Guru....unse khuch nahi bachata...no way u can save it

One more thing I have read somewhere that

Income from a house transferred by one spouse to other spouse without adequate consideration or not in an agreement to live apart... "Deemed Owner" provisions will apply and not "clubbing" provisions....

what does it mean???
