What are the tax implications for parents transferring property to NRI children?

 For parents (transferors), capital gains tax applies on sale transfers but not on gifts or inheritance. Long-term capital gains (property held for over 2 years) are taxed with indexation benefits at 20%. Gifts to immediate family members are exempt from gift tax, and there’s no wealth tax (abolished since 2015) on property ownership.
