Specify the date of purchase and sell transactions.

Years are mentioned 

  • Capital gain tax is attracted in the hands of your mother at the time of selling of property.
  • Since residential house property is sold and invest the property in new residential house amount of 30 lakh is allowed as deduction while calculating capital gain tax.
  • Any transfer of assets to a close relative is tax- free.
  • However, income from said property is clubbed in the hands of Transferer.(refer section 64 of income tax act 1961)
  • Read section 54 of Income tax Act 1961, for further clarification
