IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER A PERIOD OF 30 OR 40 YEARS FOR CAPITAL GAINS TO BE TAXED.
BUT THE BASE YEAR OF 1981 = 100 APPLIES.
IF THE SHARES IN THE PROPERTY ARE SPECIFIC AND DIVISIBLE ,THE ANSWER IS YES THAT PARTNERS CAN SHARE THE TAXABLE GAINS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SHARES. THERE IS NO BASIS OF EXEMPTING A CAPITAL GAIN EITHER AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF 3 DECADES OR DUE TO DIVISION OF SHARES AMONG PARTNERS. R.V.RAO
