My father sold a land property on his name and purchased a flat on his name with entire sale consideration. Now, Section 54F says he should not sell it within three years But can he gift the flat through gift deed in my name or should we wait for three years for gift transaction also? References of relevant cases will help a lot. Thanks.

Yes, he can gift it to you, but you will have to wait for 3 years for the sell, otherwise exemption claimed by your father will get reversed. Reference: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal - Chennai Abdul Hameed Khan Mohammed, Chennai vs Department Of Income Tax; ITA Nos.1782/Mds./2015
