Hi,

Hope you are doing well !

1. Yes, you can register this new property with your children.

2.As such, there is no tax obligation as you are already investing money/capital gain amount in residential property.

You are eligible to take the benefit of section 54.

3.No additional tax.

Since you have invested your whole sale proceeds in buying new residential property you don't need to pay any capital gain tax provided the property is complete in 3 years.

It doesn't matter if you purchase it with your son's since whole of your sale proceeds has been invested so you don't have to pay any capital gain tax.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hi,

- Yes you can add the name of the childrens in the property as co-owner but for all purposes of income tax you will be treated as owner of the property.

- You will be treated as owner for all the tax compliances i.e rental income and capital gain on sale of property.

Thanks

The entire capital gains from the sale of your residential house would be taxable in your hands. To the extent of capital gains made from sale, the entire gains should be invested to avoid tax liability ie minimum 20 lacs.

The law does not have any restriction on joint ownership and hence you can register the flat as joint owners. Than it would be advisable that instead of loan taken from relatives the amount is shown as their share of contribution towards property. The agreement to buy should clearly specify the mechanics of payments and share of funds contributed by each owner.

Where the amount is taken as loan by you and still you would like to have a joint ownership, the clubbing provision of income-tax law would apply. There is clubbing provision in Income-tax law, which provides that in case of income from a property in future where the entire funds are met by you, such income would be taxed in your hands ie any rental income or capital gains in future thou there are co-owners.

IN case of funds taken from spouse, if they are merely out of money given by you, then the income if any in future from the property will be taxable in your hands. However, if your spouse has independent earning, than she can have have her share in property jointly. Similarly, if your kids are earning, then the proportion of contribution made by them can be their share in property.

Sorry couldn't understand your question properly due to typing mistakes.

But as per my understanding, following are my answers:

1- yes you can register your property jointly with your wife and children

2- there will be no tax as your income from capital gain will be zero as you are purchasing a new residential house of higher value than the total sales consideration of previous house.

3- there is no capital gain, so u don't need to do anything to save tax.
