if it is a gift from your friend,
Section 56(2)(vii) says where an individual receives, in any previous year, from any person or persons on or after the 1st day of October, 2009,— (a) any sum of money, without consideration, the aggregate value of which exceeds fifty thousand rupees, the whole of the aggregate value of such sum shall be regarded to be income from other sources.

it is gift. So as per the section quoted above, you have to add 60,000 as income from other sources in your computation of income. The same will be taxed depending upon your SLAB rate.
