On transfer of immovable property in form of gift,Sec 56(2)(vii) will attract. Further this sec doesnot apply in case of girt to a relative..
In the given case, mother has gifted a HP to her daughter. Since mother comes under the defination of relatives, no cap gain or any othr gain wil arise in such case.
Further, daughter had sold the HP, in such case, cap gain will be taxable in the hand of daughter.
Assuming its a long term cap gain., the assessee can use Sec 54, to avoid the tax liability.
