Ok sir thanks for reply. Small doubt. Gift means is the income generated from that stree dhan taxable in my wife's hand? Is any deed necessary or stamp duty for gifted amount

Ans: 01. You have another option of giving Loan instead of Donation or Gift. This loan shall be returned in due course. Both these transactions should be through banking channels only, to ensure its acceptability by the department.
02. This transaction may carry interest also. In this case Interest paid will be treated as expense of HUF & Interest received will be treated as income in the hands of your wife. This interest income should be declared in ITR & tax, if any, should be paid.
Most welcome for any other clarification. Thanks.

Hello Sunil ji, I am kedar & age 61, asking a question regarding the taxation on the amount of inheritance to my wife. After death my father in law (sasur ji) few years back, My mother in law (my sasu ma) had taken a decision regarding the agricultural land in their small town, which was purchased by the grandfather of my wife (father of my father in law) is develped and made it in the NA plots as per town planning scheme. these plots are now ready to sale. My sasu ma want to disribute the amont sold of these real estate plots., to her three married daughters including my wife. sir, here please guid us, regarding the amount recieved to my wife through her mother's house, is liable for any tax like capital gain or it will be treated as gift tax free amonut from mother's house as a stri-dhan (स्त्री-धन) and treated a tax free inheritance amont from her parants. kindly guide. thanks.
Ans: Hi Kedarji
Based on your question, apparently on property records, your mother-in-law is the owner of the land. I do not wish to get into the legal heirship aspect of the land post your father-in-law's demise and hence i would restrict my answer within the perspective of your query.

As your MIL is the legal owner and she is the person selling the land, she will be the person liable to tax for the capital gain arising on sale of the NA land.

The distribution of the net sale proceeds to the 3 daughters could be treated as gift backed up with the relevant paper work such as executing the gift deed etc., to ensure that there is no further taxability to the 3 daughters

Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.

If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
