Capital gain exemption and tax liability over consideration for relinquishment
2 years ago
We are 3 blood sisters nominees in a flat left by my deceased father, without a will in Mumbai. I am acquiring the flat from my sisters by way of relinquishment release deed, also paying them consideration and stamp duty. Now my question is –
1. I have sold another property where I have long-term capital gains. Can I use this money to pay off consideration to my sisters For relinquishment, and get capital gain exemption?
2. Is there any other tax liability over me or my sisters for this set up or otherwise.
Please advise.
1. Yes, you can use that money to pay off your sisters' consideration for executing a relinquishment deed in your favour, and it will be tax-free up to the amount given to your sisters because it is not a capital gain.
2. You may consult a chartered accountant in your area by presenting your other sources of income.
Thank you!
