There is no limit for the same. But same should be in reasonable limit. The limit changes according to capacity of person. But there is no limit specified in sec 56(2)(vii).

16 February 2012 Normally incase of gifts received on the occasion of marriage whether in the form of cash or kind are all exempted .. requirement of a gift deed may not be very apt to this situation.. however gift received on other occassions can be made on a stamp paper by drawing a gift deed..
