Tax on CG

My friend bought a house let suppose for Rs 6 lakh. He will sell it after 5 years let suppose for Rs 10 lakh. His profit is 4 lakh. (Ignoring C.I for simplification). He's ready to pay CG tax.

But We want the sell proceeds to receive 5 lakh in his account and 5 lakh in my account. I am ready to pay tax on it.

What will be the tax treatment and how to show it in both of our accounts.
pls guide.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of selling a property for a profit and attempting to split the proceeds between two individuals. The core issue is that the entire profit is initially taxed in the hands of the seller. Any subsequent transfer of funds to another person is often treated as a gift, which can also incur tax liabilities for the recipient, leading to potential double taxation. The advice suggests that gifting the property before sale might not avoid this issue and could still trigger tax on the stamp duty value.

A is the seller of the property so buyer will pay only to A. Even if the buyer agrees to pay 5L to A and balance 5L to A's friend, it will still be considered as full income earned by A and then utilised and given to A's friend. it is called application of income. Generally, such payment by A to his friend directly or indirectly will be taxed in the hands of A's friend as a Gift from Non-Relative taxable under the head Income from Other Sources. Unfortunately, A will pay tax on 4 lakhs and A's friend will pay tax on 5 lakhs.
Can A gift half of the property to A's friend before selling to avoid double taxation?

The  stamp duty value of the property gifted will still be taxed to A's friend

Gift of the property will also be liable to tax because its gift to a nonrelative.
