24 October 2012 Hi,

No need to file return, however you can make an agreement for a Gift for a safer side.

25 October 2012 In the above case, when I filed online then on itr V only professional income was mentioned, there is no noting regarding exempt income on itr V, however I was mentioned the gift in schedule EI of itr 4.
In this case, what would be proof in the hands of assessee that he has shown Rs. 5 lacs in his itr.
