18 December 2012 Dear Mr.Amol.

I am little confused with different statements / answers received on my query. Earlier Mr.Sanjay answered me that such gifts are tax exempted under Income Tax Section 56(2) (vii) and he ask me to go through following link...
https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/relatives-u-s-56-2-vii-from-whom-gift-is-permissible--98674.asp#.UKchteScc8o

And with your answer , I am still in doubt whether my wife can avail the tax benefit with this Gift or not ?? Can you please check this url and answer.

Thanks again for taking your time to check and answer me.

18 December 2012 MOTHER IN LAW AND BROTHER IN LAW IS UNDER THE DEFINATION OF RELATIVE AS PER INCOME TAX ACT 1961, HENCE ITS NOT TAXABLE IN THE HAND OF YOUR WIFE AND NOR IN THE HAND OF HER MOTHER IN LAW AND BROTHER IN LAW.

so plz go through the defination of relative under the head of income from other sources..

18 December 2012 Yes, in your case it falls under the definition of RELATIVE. And hence not taxable.

Thanks for your reply. Please re-confirm that the amount I mentioned (Rs.150,000.00 each from Brother In law & Mother In Law) can be treated as Tax Free Income under section 56(2) (vii) of IT act 1960.
