Dear Revanth,
As per current tax laws, if an individual receives cash or non-cash gifts from persons other than blood relatives* in excess of Rs. 50,000 in a year, the whole of such gift received will be treated as the individual's income and must be included under 'Income from other sources'. If it does not exceed Rs. 50,000, it will not be treated as income.
the following sources are tax exempt irrespective of amount received as Gift:
Gifts made to spouse, minor children and daughter-in-law for inadequate consideration will be deemed income in the hands of the individual making the gift.
You can gift movable property to your dependent major children (above 18 years age) and the income earned from such gift will be taxed in their hands, thereby lowering your tax liability.
*A close or blood relative would include any of the following:
