A. Dear Client
Section 194-IA should be interpreted from the perspective of Transferee (Purchaser) thus this limit of Rs. 50 Lakhs is for purchase consideration paid by each transferee and not on total consideration. In your case as consideration paid by each transferee does not exceed Rs. 50 Lakhs thus this section should not apply. But due to lack of clarity, Assessing Officer may demand compliance of this section.

If your father has owned the Maharashtra property for more than two years, the gains from the sale will be classified as long-term capital gains (LTCG). If the property is sold within two years of acquisition, it will be considered short-term capital gains (STCG). For LTCG ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
The sale of a residential plot can have tax implications in terms of capital gains tax in India.

In your case, you mentioned that you held the plot for more than 2 years after the loan was settled. This implies that the gains will be treated as long-term capital gains (LTCG).

Here's how the taxation would work:
