23 November 2010 Gift from relative is exempt from Tax.

Relatives u/s 56(2)(vii) from whom Gift is permissible under Income Tax Act, 1961

(i) spouse of the individual;

(ii) brother or sister of the individual;

(iii) brother or sister of the spouse of the individual;

(iv) brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual;

(v) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual;

(vi) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual;

(vii) spouse of the person referred to in clauses (ii) to (vi)

Your case falls in (vi) and hence not taxable.

Just make a gift deed, in case any queries raised while assessment.
