I relinquished my rights over the ancestral house property to my brother and in turn I received some money. Does this money which comes out of the partition of the house constitute a gift or sale of half portion of the undivided house? What is my tax liability? I have accounted the money received as gift from my brother. Am I correct?

In my view, you have to simply treat the amount received from your brother as gift without linking the same with the partition of HUF property. No need to explain the cause of gift.
