14 July 2023 If a husband gifts flat to his wife, it will be shown in exempt income but under which section and how much amount. The gift deed was created and stamp duty was paid.
Please help

23 July 2023 No Sir, it's not shown in AIS, I hope later it won't be a problem if we do not specify it anywhere though gift deed is made

23 July 2023 As it is not taxable income, you are not at fault even if you do not declare. But if you wish you can declare it under Schedule EI as suggested.
