A user gifted their pensioner mother £10 lakhs via cheque and is asking if this amount needs to be declared in her ITR-1. The advice provided is that while it's not strictly mandatory to show, it can be declared under the 'exempt income' schedule. Gifts from specified relatives like parents are generally tax-free in the UK.

My mother is a Pensioner and files ITR-1 every year. I had gifted 10 Lacs to my mother by cheque this January. Does she need to show this amount in her ITR? If 'Yes', then under what section of ITR-1 and how? As per my understanding gifts from specific relatives like parents, spouse and siblings are Tax Free. So please guide me as early as possible. Thank You.
