Tax queries 1240 views 10 replies

Mr. X - Owner of Residential House Property since 1981-82 gifted the said property to Mrs. X in 2002-03. This house property is proposed to be sold in 2010-11.

Please, assume that all other condition of section 54 are fulfilled.

In whose name Cap. Gain would be taxed ?

For Claiming Exemption u/s. 54 how & in whose name Investment in new Residential House Property should be made ?

Shall it do if new investment (Residential House Property) is made by Mrs. X only because sales proceeds will be received by Mrs. X ?

Deduction u/s.54 is to be claimed by Mr X & we do not want to add Mr  X's name in the new property. Is it possible ?

cap gain will be in the name of mrs. X

new investment can be made in name of mrx X or jointly in name of Mr. nd Mrs. X ....in residential house property within the prescribed time period in order to claim exemption u/s 54

As Gift before 1-10-2009 is not taxable.

Henece CG will be in the hands of Mrs. X and not in Mr. X.

He may Purchase House Property within 2 Year, or Construct within 3 Years from the date of transfer. However She May Deposit the amount in Special Account with NAtionalised Bank before the due date of Filling of return.

Deduction cannot be claimed by Mr.X as the Ownership lies with Mrs.X.

So Purchase of Property should only be in the name of Mrs.x

i came to this conclusion as per decision of case ITO vs Saraswati Ramanathan in which exemption u/s 54 EC was allowed even if the new bonds were in joint name of assessee and her son...

Agree.

Section 64(1)(iv) does not apply to house property. Hence, no clubbing under this section.

Further, section 27 is applicable for limited purpose of clubbing of income under house property (Section 22 to 26) & not to the capital gains.

Hence, no clubbing of Capital gains in the hands of Mr. X.

There is no need to purchase residential property in joint names. Purchase of property in the name of Mrs. X would suffice.
