26 May 2015 There will be long term capital gains since in case of gift period of holding is taken from the previous owner. If you are referring to valuation as section 50C value than sale consideration will be taken as Rs. 1.5 crore out of which benefit of indexed cost of acquisition will be given which will be calculated on Rs. 14 lakhs i.e. cost to previous owner but regarding whether the index of year of purchase by previous owner or index of year in which property was first acquired by the assessee is to be applied is a controversial one in view of explanation (iii) to section 48. There are conflicting court judgments. One can take the help of Bombay High Court judgment in the case of CIT Vs Manjula J shah. Also take note that the Supreme Court has held that in case of gifted properties capital gains will be clubbed in the hands of the donor. [1968] 68 ITR 503.
