A is husband, B is wife. A & B has joint saving a/cs in Bank. A sells house in his own name only, and deposits money in bank deposits. Now A, purchases another house in the name of A & B jointly,with some of the money, rest made FD in A&B's name jointly.
Now the questions are- (i) Tax liablity/implications on FD. (ii) Tax implication of joint ownership of house property.
