If it is immovable property it may be taken as per stamp duty valuation. In case of movable property it shall be market value. but since it is without consideration it shall be taken as gift.

Dear CA.Vishnu, Tks for ur quick reply. If he take the relinquishment of right as gift, then it is exempt in the hands of receiver! but is it not CG taxable in the hands transferor as this transaction fulfill the "transfer" definition?

generally same income is not taxed twice. if it is established that it is taxable in the hands of receiver under IFOS then it should not be taxed in the hands of transfer for the same amount. Gifting involves transfer always but since receiver is taxed giver is not taxed for the same amount.

Sir, if this transaction is happened b/w father and a son, then the gift will be exempt in the hands of transferee. so i have the following queries; a) Should the transferor pay capital gain? b) if the transferee sells the same property (earlier he was a 50% co-owner and post release deed (<1 year) he becomes sole owner), then on 50% value he will have to pay LTCG and on balance to pay STCG or the previous ownership will be considered for CG working?

No in both the cases it will be LTCG but indexation benefit will be available from the year of gift and for balance from original date.
