same treatment in hand of husband as if it would have been in the hand of her spouse. The period of holding and cost of acquisition of her spouse will be considered , also exemption u/s 54 can be taken if gains are invested accordingly

Thanks Sameer.

 

And We have to Take this into Accounts of Husband. So how to make the Entry and In Income Tax Return how to Show it.

i.e. How to Show the ASSET - HOUSE.

Do we have to show it as Income from Other Sources or something else ???

 

it is a capital assest hence taxable under head capital gains and since held for more than 3 years LTCG
