Intend to sell a property which is jointly owned by my wife and my sister in law (brother's wife). Since my SIL lives in the US and is unable to come in the near future, how do we execute the sale? Is GPA a valid route in selling? Will buyer agree to such an arrangement?

Ans: Yes. the buyer will not have any issue with regards to sale. Further, with regards to POA, a Registered Special Power of Attorney works in most states in India.

Dear Sir, We have inherited a property in Bangalore. The property was in my Mother's name who attained lotus feet last November. This is a bit complicated situation. 1) The actual payment for the property was done in 1998. 2) The property registration in My Mother's name was done in 2016. The value of purchase in 1998 was 6 Lacs. Renovation and modest addition is approx. 6 Lacs. 3) The property in now co owned by self and Brother. 4) We have a sister who has signed release deed. 5) The current market rate is approx. 1.7 Cr. My question is, 1) If we sell, can we ask the buyer to make separate payments to the two of us? 2) We intend to pay our Sister (resident of Australia) some portion of the recievables. Can we ask buyer to make separate payment to her? 3) We have an existing home loan which we intend to close using the money. 4) How will the LTCG role out in this situation? Also as of today there is an amendment that we can chose either 20% with indexation or 12.5 without indexation. Which is the right one to chose? Request your valuable guidance, please.
Ans: I offer my following suggestions for your points of concern :
01. The Buyer will make payment to the owner of property. Has property been transferred in favor of both of you ?
If Yes, then he shall make payment to both of you, separately, as desired by you.
02. The buyer should not make any direct payment to your sister.
After receiving the sale proceeds, both of you, may Gift some amount to your sister. It will be a separate transaction. Please note that your sister will not have any income tax implications, in case of gift from brothers.
03. You are free to use the sale proceeds of property in any way, even for re-payment of housing loan.
04. You need to work out LTCG in both ways, i.e., 20% with Indexation & 12.50% without Indexation. You may choose the option, in which you tax liability is minimum.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
