This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the rules for a resident individual sending Rs 6 Lakhs to her daughter-in-law's overseas account using the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. It confirms that such a transfer is considered an exempted gift, with no income tax liability for the daughter-in-law in India. The sender is not liable for withholding tax, and the NRI daughter-in-law does not need to report this amount in her Indian Income Tax Return. The remittance can be appropriately categorised under 'Maintenance of Close Relative'.
