Taxability in case of Family Settlement

If in a family Settlement deed, titles of different properties are changed.

For eg. Previous holder relinquishes his name and the new owner is Aunt of previous owner.

What would be the scope of taxability for the previous title holder and the new title holder?
Is Capital Gain or Income from Other sources (Gift) applicable or not?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the taxability of property transfers within a family settlement. It clarifies that when property titles are changed as part of a family settlement, neither capital gains tax nor gift tax typically applies to the transfer itself. The consensus is that these transfers are not considered taxable events for either the relinquishing or receiving party.

If HUF is there and full partition done of HUF properties, then no capital gain on partition
There is no HUF. There was a joint family and then there was partition.
Properties were divided amongst them verbally. Now the family wishes to draft a family Settlement deed so that the properties can be transferred to respective new owners.
No capital gain will accrue to family settlement transfers
And taxability in the hands of receiver of property?
No capital gain as it's not considered as transfer
