Dear Sir

I require clarification on gift tax applicability in the below mentioned cases.

1.My friend who is in the US wants to know whether he has to pay gift tax in US if he plans to give a gift deed of a property which is located in Bangalore to his younger brother.

2.Secondly he wants to know whether his younger brother who stays in Bangalore and who is in receipt of a gift deed from him has to pay gift tax.If so what is the rate of gift tax which is payable.

Kindly elaborate your query.
Hope you dont want every visitor to write essay on the Posted topic.
extremely sorry abt the above comment..
Any Gift , in cash or in kind from Relatives is exempted from Tax .
Since "brother" falls within the defination of relative, this gift is exempt from tax in the hands of younger brother.
Moreover Tax is not levied on the person who gifts ie the giver.
so neither the younger brother nor the elder brother pay any gift tax.

Thanks for the update.

 

The views posted by Mr Hitesh is valid in India as per prevailing rules.
