Relinquishment of right is transfer of capital assets. Moreover when consideration paid cannot be calculated than reference to sec 50d is necessary for computing consideration as fmv of the assets for the purpose of computing capital gains under this act. please wait for what others too say and than act accordingly.

Better to prepare gift deed instead. But gift of immovable property needs to be stamped and registered. You do not have to pay tax on this transfer. But tomorrow if you sell this property, there will be long term capital gains in your hand.

Hi Sir. Say in this case property is relinquished by all aunts (and other heirs) to grandson, and grandson decides to sell in within 3 months of relinquished date, then will the capital gains be termed as short term or long term ? [Assume the original owner - grandfather acquired this property in 1980s.]

U can get release deed registered and there is no tax involved in relinquish ment. But the cost of asset is the purchase.price of ancestor's after 1980 else take value as 1980. It is only long term gain and no stcg is applicable.
