Section 17 deals with restrictions on accumulation of income from transferred property. The 18-year period is one of the two time limits (the other being the transferor's lifetime). The direction is void to the extent it exceeds the longer of these two periods.

  1. 1 Pick up TPA.
  2. 2 Go to Section 17(1).
  3. 3 Read: direction for accumulation is void if it exceeds the longer of (a) life of transferor, or (b) 18 years from date of transfer.
  4. 4 The question asks about the period in Section 17 → 18 years is one of the two limits. Note: it's life of TRANSFEROR, not transferee.
The text reads: Section 17(1): Accumulation direction void if it exceeds the longer of: (a) life of the transferor, or (b) 18 years from the date of transfer.
