Gift

Quick Summary
In the UK, cash gifts received from relatives are generally not taxable under Section 56(2)(vii) of the Income-Tax Act. While a grandmother-in-law might not always be explicitly defined as a 'relative', any gift up to £50,000 is typically exempt from tax. In this case, the gift is considered exempt as it falls within this limit and the grandmother-in-law is covered under the definition of a relative.

04 July 2020 I received a cash gift of rs 50000 from my grandmother in law without marriage occasion...is it exempt??

04 July 2020 According to Section 56(2)(vii) of the Income-Tax Act, gifts received from relatives are not taxable.

04 July 2020 Grand mother in law is not covered under the definition of relative however, any amount received upto Rs 50000 as gift is not taxable

04 July 2020 But according to sec 56(2)(vii) grandmother in law is also covered under the definition of relative.

08 July 2020 Grandmother in law is covered. hence gift is exempt without any limit. although gift of 50k (in FY) is anyways exempt.
