Sir, I own a flat jointly with my brother. My brother owns half share in the flat. His share value is Rs. 6.50 lakh. After a family settlement he now wants to relinquish his share in the flat without taking any consideration. I have heard that in case of relinquishment without consideration the stamp duty for the relinquishment deed is taken as the sales price. The stamp duty will be 7% of 6.50 lakh that is 45,500. So, my brother will have to pay tax on this amount. Is this true? If this is not true please advice who will have to pay tax and how much tax will be paid
