Dear Mr. Reddy
Gift received from relatives are not taxable.
Relative means:-
Definition of relative for the purpose of section 56(2)(vii) is reproduced as under:
(i) spouse of the individual;
(ii) brother or sister of the individual;
(iii) brother or sister of the spouse of the individual;
(iv) brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual;
(v) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual;
(vi) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual;
(vii) spouse of the person referred to in clauses (ii) to (vi).

your cousin is not a relative under income tax.
As ur cousin is nri
Receive money in your bank account
and then show it in the itr of that year as income under the head other sources(gift income)

breaking of chain has no problem.
But if your case comes in scrutiny then that will become a case of tax evasion because you are creating a chain to avoid tax.
The ultimate source of gift would be the same i.e NRI.
In my opinion no need to create unnecessary hustle.
