Gift tax payable from relatives

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a gift received from a mother's sister's son (a cousin) is subject to gift tax. Initially, there was confusion regarding the definition of 'relative' for tax purposes. The consensus reached is that a cousin is not considered a relative under the relevant tax act, meaning such a gift would indeed be taxable.

25 June 2023 Gift from my mother’s sisters son to me is taxable or exempted qualifying in relatives ?

25 June 2023 Not taxable.
She is relative to you as per sec. 56(2) of IT act.

25 June 2023 Thanks. I rephrase the question. Gift from my mother’s sisters SON to me is taxable or exempted qualifying in relatives ?

25 June 2023 Changed the query !!
Yes, it is taxable as cousin is not under definition of relative under IT act.

25 June 2023 Thank you for your reply.

25 June 2023 You are welcome.
