self acquired property means?

It is believed that you are all Hindu.

Confirm!

Ancestral Property; should be four generation old…….in other words Any property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.

Self acquired property; that is acquired exclusively by one from one’s income/resources, inherited from father/mother/grandmother/uncle/aunt/brother/sister, by partition/division, by decree of court of law, by gift, by WILL, acquired from auction etc  etc

Self acquired property can become ancestral property if it is thrown into the pool of ancestral properties and enjoyed in common.

In your case since IT was award of compensation to legal heirs of deceased grandmother IT should not be ancestral  …………….

If your grandfather purchased land from his share of monies paid by court in his name then IT should be his self acquired property…

The title holder can dispose his self acquired in anyone’s favor be IT even stranger….

If your aunt’s money was not invested in said property then on what grounds  she claimed and staked any charge?
