Anything over a year makes it a long term tax liability. This will come under short term tax liability.

Question is confusing. Elaborate Cleary like :1 Dt. of purchase by the Donor :2 Dt.of sale by the Donee.In case you feel help more give your contact no.
When a property is received on inheritance or as a gift, it is not taxable for the receiver. When the inheritor or the receiver of this gift of property, sells it, capital gains on the sale are taxable for the inheritor.The cost of acquisition and indexation shall be done as follows.

Cost of the property – The property did not cost anything to the inheritor, but for calculation of capital gain the cost to the previous owner is considered as the cost of acquisition of the Property.

Indexation of cost – Additionally, the year of acquisition of the previous owner is considered for the purpose of indexation of the cost of acquisition.

Long term or short term based period of holding.. if property hold for more than 1 year then it is Longterm other wise short term
