Since the gift is not treated as a \u201csale,\u201d no immediate liability arises.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Also Read:-<a href=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/blogs\/homebuyers-can-now-enjoy-tax-benefits-on-two-owned-properties\">Homebuyers Can Now Enjoy Tax Benefits on Two Owned Properties<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_Income_From_the_Gifted_Asset_Is_Taxable\"><\/span><strong>But Income From the Gifted Asset Is Taxable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the catch: any income generated from the gifted property\u2014like rent, dividends, or even capital gains from a later sale\u2014will be clubbed with the donor\u2019s income. This means the person who made the gift is still responsible for paying tax on the returns, not the recipient spouse.<\/p>\n<p>This stems from Section 64(1)(iv) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which clearly states that if an asset is transferred to a spouse without adequate consideration (meaning no or minimal payment in return), the income from it must be added back to the transferor\u2019s taxable income.<\/p>\n<p>As tax expert Kunal Savani, Partner at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, explains:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply executing a registered gift deed does not shift the liability. The capital gains or income will still be taxable in the hands of the person making the gift.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Claiming_Exemptions_Under_Section_54\"><\/span><strong>Claiming Exemptions Under Section 54<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you sell a property, the law allows you to reinvest the proceeds to save on capital gains tax.

However, if your long-term capital gains are below \u20b92 crore, you can reinvest in two properties, though this special benefit is available only once in a lifetime.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_If_the_Gifted_Property_Is_Later_Sold\"><\/span><strong>What If the Gifted Property Is Later Sold?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even if your spouse sells the property that was originally gifted to them, the capital gains are still taxable in your hands (the transferor). You can, however, claim exemptions under Section 54, provided you meet the conditions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Also Read:-<a href=\"https:\/\/housiey.com\/blogs\/blogs\/what-are-the-government-taxes-on-property-purchase-in-mumbai\">What Are The Government Taxes on Property Purchase in Mumbai<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ITATs_Key_Ruling_on_Multiple_Flats_as_%E2%80%9COne_House%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>ITAT\u2019s Key Ruling on Multiple Flats as \u201cOne House\u201d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a separate case, ITAT Delhi dealt with the exemption claim of Saroj, who sold her Delhi home in 2015\u201316 for \u20b92.7 crore and used \u20b92.55 crore to buy seven flats in Greater Noida.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Income Tax Department initially denied her full exemption, allowing only \u20b936 lakh and taxing the rest.<\/li>\n<li>Saroj appealed, and ITAT ruled in her favour, deleting the additional \u20b91.8 crore demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The tribunal held that multiple flats can qualify as one residential unit if they are interconnected and function as a single house for the family.<\/p>\n<p>Tax specialist Vikrant A.
