Hii

you have to file ITR 2 

your share depends on ownership, if you both have 50-50 share then equal distribution is required for the purpose of capital gain calculation

 

for calculation we have to check indexation

You need to file ITR 2.

The distribution of money would depend on share in property.

In total you are having a loss of 13 crore.

You need to show it in capital gain tab in ITR.

If you need any assistance feel free to contact me.

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

Thank you
