08 September 2013 Gifts received from specified relatives are exempt from Income Tax, and there is no upper limit also.

Father is included in the definition of relative, therefore amount received from him would be tax free.

A relative can be any of the following:

Spouse of the individual

Brother or sister of the individual,

spouse or of either parent

Lineal ascendants or descendants of

individual or of spouse

Spouse of person referred to in scenario 2 and 3 above
