Sale of property will attract capital gains. If he sells the flat, he will have to pay long term capital gain provided he held the flat for more than 3 years.
After selling the flat, he can either invest in infra bonds within 6 months or invest in another property within 2 years. This will minimize or eliminate long term capital gains.
If this is not done, he will be paying long term capital gains and has to show it in his ITR.
The other option is to purchase a flat keeping the daughter as co-owner.
