If the same amount is to be repaid after some time then the same will be treated as loan if not then it will be treated as gift. If the sum exceeds Rs. 50,000 which is crossing in your case and the same is to be treated as gift and the same is from a non relative then the same will be liable for tax in the hnads of the mother subject to basic exemption limit of Rs. 190,000 if no other income is there
