Any gift received from relatives is exempt u/s 56(2)(vii) if the IT Act.
'Relatives' includes inter alia brother, sister and any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual.
Hence,
1. Gift received in cash from father is exempt. However, it is better that you take an undertaking from your father in a GIFT DEED. (Browse Google for the Format - No standard format)
2. In ITR, you have to show under 'Others' row in EI tab.

It is not income at all. It is not required to be shown in your Return anywhere. Your capital account will be credited by the amount gifted to you.

Mr. Bafna,
Please refer to Section 2(24)(xv) of the Income Act, where income includes;
any sum of money or value of property referred to in clause (vii) [or clause (viia)] of sub-section (2) of section 56;
Hence, even a capital receipt, as above is first considered as income. Next point to be verified is whether the same is taxable or not.
In this case, it is not taxable.

The sum referred in Section 2(24)(xv), which is treated as an income , is the sum received from a non relative and not all the sums.
.
My conclusion is based on the second proviso
to the clause (vii) of Section 56(2) which reads as under-
" Provided further that this clause shall not apply to any sum of money or property received-
(a) from any relative; or........"
.
So the clause itself contains the provision
for the exclusion of "any sum of money" received from a relative, so the same can not at any level be treated as income as referred to in Section 2(24)(xv).
