Dear Sir/Madame
If I gift property to my Sister’s Son who is part of her family (HUF) is it tax exempt ?
Hi
If you gift the same in your personal capacity then it would be taxable as the same is not covered in the definition of the relative. However the said at can be made tax free by proper planning through the HUG route. For that please drop a mail at [email protected] or contact at 7986255468.
