During purchase of flat, my parents gave me Rs. 5L. In this regard I request for your advise on the following points:
(1) Is the said amount is taxable? (2) Should I need to declare this amount in my IT return? or (3) The amount is need to be declared by parents in their IT return?

1) This amount is not taxable as it is received from parents. 2) You need to declare this in your IT return. 3) Parents need not declare.
Thanks a lot for the advice, I had already filed my returns for the AY. So, one thing is clear that I need to file the revised IT return for the concerned AY in my case it is AY 2011-12. Please guide me for the following:
(1) Is it possible to file revised return for AY 2011-12 now? (2) Where should I mention the amount received? I didn't find any space in ITR-1. (3) Or is there any specific format, which needs to be attached with the IT return? If yes,a copy of format will be very helpful from your end.

It is not possible to revise your return for AY 2011-12 now. Any how no problem being non taxable gift. Keep evidence of receipt of gift so that whenever any inquiry on source of purchase you can produce it.

Simple document with details of amount and reasons for gift is enough. Have your bank statement showing credit in your account and PAN No of your parent if available.

Yes sir, the amount was transferred electronically in my account and my parent have PAN card. Though, I am not sure it is mentioned in the Bank Account Statement or not.

Gift by way of cheque or cash(account transfer) is not required to be executed through a gift deed. It can be written on a plain paper also.
