Gift under section 56 of the act


This query is : Resolved 

07 October 2013 Respected one,

One of my clients has during the financial
year 2012-2013, in his "individual Status",
made cash gifts of Rs.20lakhs and Rs.25lakhs
respectively to his son's "individual" and
"HUF" status. What is the tax implication of
income from gift u/s 56 of the Incometax Act
for the asst.year 2013-2014?

07 October 2013 Gift received from relative as well as HUF is exempt from Tax,

The Finance Act, 2012 has widened the definition of relative under Section 56(2)(vii) by providing that in case of a Hindu Undivided Family, any member thereof shall be treated as a relative.
Therefore, an HUF can now make or receive gifts, to or from any of its members, without attracting any liability for income-tax.
