Property selling - taxation - complicated as inheritance/nri involved. please help

336 views 4 replies

My father purchased land in 1999. And constructed house in 2005. Property was on his name only. 

After his death property got transferred on name of my mother, myself, my bother and my sister. Now it is jointly held by all four of us.

My brother and sister are US citizens now. My brother has PAN card. sister doesnt have pan card. I live in india.  

Now we want to sell the property. 

Understanding between us is clear.  so no problem on that side. 

So we want to sell in such a way so that less tax comes overall and least combersome for US brother/sister.

Question:

1. Is it possible for buyer to handover complete sell amount only on my mother name. ? Someone told we have to take the sale proceed equally on all four name. 

2. Even my brother and sister doesnt want any sale amount. neither they want to fill any tax. is it possible?

3. we dont have details of construction cost. How can we get indexation benefit. The land purchase of very less hence wont add up much. Major cost was of construction. but we dont proof of that. only few bills. can we get a value as of 2005. so that we can calculate indexation cost now. 

4. My sister doesnt have a PAN. will have create any issue in selling?

THanks,

Ajay

First tell your sister and brother to gift the property to you and your mother and than sell the property

Does gifting means I have to get the property converted on my and mother name? Do they have to come to india sign any documents? 

By executing gift deed or release deed....above qs can be solved
As deeds will have to be executed,& redg with registrar's , can be done with POA & POA can be given from USA if documents executed before Indian Embassy in USA

Thanks. Also can someone tell me on this?

The land was bought in 1999 and house constructed by 2005. We dont have details of construction cost. 

How can we take a value of property in 2005? so that we can use indexation to arrive at cost now. 

What written documents we should have to file income tax?
