section 56(2) doesn't apply to charitable trusts. such giving of gift will not only be not taxed but also shall be eligible for deduction under 80G (if the trust has the registration)
The Individual person had given a Immoveable property valued of Rs. 21,00,000/- (stamp duty paid) is gifted to a registered Charitable trust by way gift deed. So I want know that what about tax liability in hands of Individual person ?
capital gains dont apply. Section 50C wont have the play here. Section 50c dont apply to gifts.
"Though gift is a transfer, there is no question of liability for capital gain in case of gifts U/s. 45, as capital gain pre-supposes consideration for transfer and in case of gift, it is a transfer for no consideration. Sec. 50C will also be not attracted as the same is applicable only to transfers for inadequate consideration."

pls refer sec 56(2) and the following link under the head income from other sources sec56(2) : http://220.227.161.86/30434bos20081aDTL.pdf
"Immovable property received by an individual or HUF for inadequate consideration taxable if the difference between the stamp duty value and actual consideration exceeds Rs 50000 Section 56(2)(vii)"
Now tell me honestly, since when a charitable trust became equivalent to an individual or HUF?
In the instant case, the Individual has given the gift, not received it.
I hope you will be able to read the query once again!
