Dear all,

 

My friend wants to gift a house to his wife. He is a Income Tax Assessee.

Government valuation (valuation for Stamp Duty) of the house is 12 lacs.

Wife is pure house wife & hence has not filed any income tax return till the date.

 

What will be the tax treatment / tax liability in this case?

Also what are the documentary requirements for the Gift like gift deed etc.?

What will be position if wife sales the house after 1 month of gift deed?

 

Plz reply at the earliest.
