My father-in-law desires to gift a large sum to my minor daughter. The amount has already been taxed in his hands as income.
I would like to know whether this amount is likely to be taxable in my hand.
Alternately, can he gift this amount to my HUF / my wife.

We have to distinguish between
(1) Tax on amount received as gift
(2) Tax on income earned by investing amount received as gift
