16 December 2009 Respected veena madam,

i am not considering that gift as capital gain

my query is about whether the gift received can be treated as capital receipt

18 July 2024 Yes, the gift received by Mr. A from his relatives can be treated as a capital receipt. In the context of income tax filings, particularly in Form 3CD, which is used for audit report under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961, Clause 13(e) specifically pertains to "Capital Receipts."

According to the income tax provisions:
- **Capital Receipts**: These are receipts that are not revenue receipts but instead relate to capital items such as gifts, loans, capital contributions, etc. Gifts received from relatives are generally treated as capital receipts unless they fall under specific exemptions like those covered under Section 56 of the Income Tax Act.

- **Treatment in Form 3CD**: In Clause 13(e) of Form 3CD, you are required to disclose all capital receipts. Since the gift received by Mr. A from his relatives and added to his capital account qualifies as a capital receipt, it should be disclosed under this clause.

### Conclusion:
Yes, you can write the amount received as a gift from relatives and added to Mr. A's capital account in Clause 13(e) of Form 3CD as a capital receipt. Ensure that you accurately disclose all relevant details in accordance with income tax laws and guidelines to comply with reporting requirements.
