Dear Experts, I am a super senior citizen, kerala state pensioner having pension approx. 3.50 lacs per year.
I have a property in palakkad/kerala(seven cents including a house in it) including a house I bought in 2010 for Rs.nine lacs and at present I have buyers for a minimum amt of seventy lacs for the same property.
My son recently bought a flat for seventy lacs. He utilised the amount by selling his equity shares holding with him worth of the same amount of seventy lacs. Now whether I could avail any tax exemptions if I wish to give my property to my son. The problem is he has a STCG of seventy lacs in equity selling in 2022-23 FY, and if I sold this property, I will also have a tax on 70 - 09 = 61 lacs profit in property selling. Considering these, whether he or me could transfer the property to avoid huge tax burden to both of us? Whether he or I could gift it as a solution on this? Please advise on this.

1. He has already STCG on his equity selling. & if You also sell house property, you will get LTCG. So, no question of any adjustment in both the gains. 2. Even if you gift it to your son, you can save LTCG, but when he sells it, it will be same LTCG, over his account. Unless there is capital loss in any other sell/transfer, question of adjustment does not arise.
