Dear sir, I am proprietor of a gas agency . At initial stage of business, during fy 2011-12, my father provided me Rs. 9 lacs in cash (which was the gratuity amount of his retirement) for the needs of business. Can I show the said amount as interest free loan or as a gift is better option to avoid tax liability in AY 2012-13. Please advise me. Thanks and regards.
