MURTY

04 March 2014 1. Gift received from relatives is NOT taxable u/s 56(2)(vii)
Accordingly amount received by an individual from her father is NOT taxable in the hands of the daughter.

2. Gift tax has been abolished and is no longer applicable. So the father does NOT have to pay gift tax.

3. Since the father has transferred a capital asset, capital gain will arise on the transfer of the asset.
