A owns a flat and transfers it to his mother-in-law by means of a gift deed. The gift deed is registered and property transfer is also registered and due stamp duty is paid. Are there any tax implications of this transaction for A? Is any LTCG deemed to accrue to him on this transfer? Is he required to indicate this transaction in his ITR2? There is no column in the House Property portion of ITR to indicate this transaction. Has he to mention it in CG portion any where? What is the tax implication for Mother-in-law? Please give your views.

There is no tax payable either for Mr. A or his mother-in-law. LTCG will arise in the hands of mother-in-law when she decides to sell this flat.

Yes, Mr. Mihir is right, there is no clubbing of Income as mother-in- Law is not relative as per the clubbing of Income rules. So, A wouldn't liable for taxes on further income that arises on the said property.
