If for the purpose of INCOME TAX ACT, 1961, definition of relative in case of an individual assessee includes HUF. For e.g. if Mr.X is a member of the HUF. Now if Mr.X gifts anything to the HUF of which he's the member, than the same will be taxable in hands of HUF or not. Please also suggest any case law, regarding to the above case, if any.

Dear All,
If for the purpose of INCOME TAX ACT, 1961, definition of relative in case of an individual assessee includes HUF. For e.g. if Mr.X is a member of the HUF. Now if Mr.X gifts anything to the HUF of which he's the member, than the same will be taxable in hands of HUF or not. Please also suggest any case law, regarding to the above case, if any. I have read the section 56(2) but still i have doubt as if the same secion i.e. section 56(2), contradicts the provision of section 10(2) than what will be the consequences.
