Gifts in cash

This query is : Resolved 

08 April 2025 Dear All,
Kindly let me know, if my wife received Rs.2,00,000/- in cash from my father (Her father-in-law) will it be taxable or not.
Thanking you
Regards

08 April 2025 Section 269ST prohibits any person to receive an amount of Rs.2 lakh and above in cash:

In aggregate from a person in a day, or
In a single transaction, or
In respect of transactions relating to one event or occasion from a person.

So any amount less than Rs. 2 lakhs received by DIL from her FIL will be tax exempt, but clubbing provision u/s. 64 will be applicable.

08 April 2025 Sir if the amount is 1.75lakh, it will taxable or not

08 April 2025 Not taxable. The gift would be exempt under sec 56(2)(x) IT act; as FIL being 'Relative' to DIL.
But the income earned (if any) over the gifted amount by DIL; would be taxable in the hands of 'Donor' under the clubbing provision.

29 September 2025 Good luck..
