Quick Summary
There is no legal cap on the amount of money a parent can transfer to their non-dependent child for expenses in the UK. Such transfers are generally not taxable for the recipient if made by a 'relative' as defined by the Income Tax Act. While it can be considered a gift or a loan, it's advisable to use banking channels rather than cash for the transfer.

There is no cap in any act. Depends upon standard of living.

The amount is non deductible from any income, i.e. it should be after tax liability, if any.

But is it taxable to recipient, that is my daughter

No. Because you are her  "relative" as per sec. 56(2) of IT act....

Its advisable to give her through any banking channel, but not by cash.

You may consider it as a loan which doesn't require formalities and even it is not taxable
Transfer any amount as gift no tax liability arises for both.
There is no cap on amount transferred to children.
