IF the asset is used for personal purposes then, the question of looking over it as a capital asset , itself does not arise........since assets used for personal purposes are not included for the calculation of capital gain.....and also if a gift is recieved in kind then it is expempted up to a sum of RS-50,000..........
this is movable personal effect and it is excluded from the defination of capital asset and therefore this car is not a capital asset and capital gain tax would not be levied on the same.
Normally, if the receipient of gift transfers, it is taxable in his hands. but the car being a personal car doesn't come udner the meaning of capital asset. So no capital gains is taxable in the hands of sachin.
The car was used by Sachin for his personal use, and therefore it will be a "Personal Effect of a movable nature". The definition of Capital Assets clearly excludes personal effects. As a result, capital gains tax will not be attracted.
I also think that the fact that the car was gifted by a non-resident is of no significance.
