Makar Sankranti is on Sat 13 Jan: the Sun enters Makara at 09:54, by day.

Sat 13 Jan. The Sun enters Makara at 09:54; the punya kala is the 40 ghatis (16 h) from then, to 01:54 Sun.
Sun 14 Jan. The Sun does not enter Makara this day.
The Sun enters Makara at 09:54, between sunrise (06:09) and sunset (17:42). The Dharmasindhu’s punya kala is the 40 ghatis after the ingress, so the bath and gifts fall that day: Sat 13 Jan.
