23 December 2015 Your brother can make gift in any of the two capacity i.e. as brother or son. Or in other words he can gift the money either to you or your father. In both cases it will be exempt for the receiver as it has been received from 'relative'. It is advisable to take the gift through his NRE bank account transfer or by cheque. And also get a formal gift deed signed by your brother on stamp paper of appropriate value as per your state stamp laws.
