Dear Shanker,
Gift (cash or kind) received on the occasion of marriage is exempted from tax u/s 56(2)(vi).
The following documents are required to maintain.
1. Copy of Marriage invitation.
2.List of names of donors with name & amounts.

Dear Shanker,
Section 56(2)(vi) is very clear that gift received on marriage occasion is completely exemted.
There is no monetary limit.
Even if it Rs.1 Crore, same will not be taxed as long as required information/documents are maintained.
