1. oNCE YOUR UNCLE RETIRES HIS SHARE EXPIRES.
2.The same can not be transferred to subsequently.
3.However you can be indicted as holding majority partner share but 100& owning of share means the other partner is redundant and then the firm becomes anything but partnership firm.
4. So if there is clause in the partnership deed of transfer of share then you can get share of your uncle but you can not become its sole owner and if you do then it becomes proprietorship firm.
1: is it compulsory to execute this gift dead in same FY in which the partnership constitution has changed (AY 2017-18) or it can be done in subsequent years also. 2: what is the alternate to finish outgoing partner's capital, without paying him as the business division is within family.

Gift deed has to executed when transfer of capital has been done in your favour
2) uncle can execute relinquishment deed to relinquish his share in capital
1. Since it is moveable proeprty the execution of gift deed is optional. IR ANY IMMOVABLE PROPERTY IS INVOLVED THEN REGISTERED DEED IS COMPULSORY.
2. If he is transferring the share then his NIC is enough or the gift deed.
Section 29(2) of partnership act says tht:
If the firm is dissolved or if the transferring partner ceases
to be a partner, the transferee is entitled as against the remaining
partners to receive the share of the assets of the firm to which the
transferring partner is entitled and for the purpose of ascertaining that share, to an account as from the date of the dissolution.
You can become the transferee to receive the rights of the outgoing partner who would transfer the same to you.
The tax implication would be as per the provisions of law in this regard which the partnership company/firm will handle through their auditor.
1: is it compulsory to execute this gift dead in same FY in which the partnership constitution has changed (AY 2017-18) or it can be done in subsequent years also.
If the outgoing partner s\would desire to transfer his rights in the firm as a gift deed to you, then it can be done before you become the partner
2: what is the alternate to finish outgoing partner's capital, without paying him as the business division is within family.
The terms are set out in the partnership deed and the articles of association which can be enforced under such circumstances.
