as per above subject i want a opinion on should i take a gift from my uncle who is citizen of USA. if yes then it is exempted or taxable in the hands of me?
Firstly state what is your relationship with your uncle. For example father's brother or mother's brother or any other relation. Only then conclusion can be drawn. Since merely uncle doesnt fall under the purview of relative.
father's brother (Tau ji/Chacha ji) falls in the definition of relative. Thus, no taxability will arise in case of receipt of gift by you from your uncle. Residential status of the relative is not relevant for the purpose of Income from other source . however you are also advised to refer provisions of FEMA.
