This discussion addresses a query regarding the taxability of a Rs. 80,000 remittance received from a friend into a salary earner's bank account. While the remittance is shown as Rs. 13,125 under LRS (u/s 206C(1G(a))) in the AIS report, the advice clarifies that income from a friend is taxable under 'Income from Other Sources'. However, if the remittance were from a close relative, it would be exempt. The recommended ITR form for filing is ITR 2, and the TCS amount for LRS can be claimed as a credit.
