MONEY FOR MAINTENANCE

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an NRI son can send maintenance money to his parents in India. The key takeaway is that such transfers are considered gifts between relatives and are therefore not subject to tax implications in India. There is also no limit on the amount that can be transferred as a gift between relatives as defined by the Income Tax Act.

02 August 2020 There will be no Tax Implications. As the money transferred by you will be treated as a gift given to you and as per proviso to Sec 56(2)(x), the gift is not taxable if exchanged among relatives. Also, there is no limit on transferring the amount.

03 August 2020 I think i have resolved your query with another question you asked. Still, I would say there is no limit of exchanging gifts among relatives. But relatives should be those persons or members of the family which are defined in Sec 56(2) of the Income Tax Act.
