Let us study your problem under the following two heads of income:
1. Capital gains in the hands of your brother / his estate:
Firstly...the nature of receipt is capital receipt.
Second....though it is a transfer and not directly excluded as gift, will etc. indirectly excluded in section 49.
Answer: Your brother / his estate not liable for capital gains.
2. Income from other sources in your hands:
U/s 56(2)(vii) ....'inheritance' is excluded specifically from taxable 'other income'. Hence, not taxable in your hands.
