	Can one get the benefit of zero taxation on LTCG, on any sale after transferring the shares (gift) to one's spouse?

if property transfered to spouse without considration then it is chargeable to tax in the hand of spouse who transfered it without considration.

now in your question suppose hasband transfered share to wife without considration then it is chargeabl to tax in the hand of husbund.

first transection here is husbund transfered share to wife, it is not chargeable to tax

second transection is wife sold share to some other person the provisions are as followd....

if wife sells such share to any other person & any profit arouse then it is chargeble to tax in the hand of husbund.

further if it is subjuct to STT then this exemption is available to husbund.
