As section 56 of the Income Tax Act,
If the value of gifts received is more than Rs. 50,000 a year, then such amount is taxed as income in the hands of the receiver. These gifts may be in any form – cash, jewellery, movable and immovable property, shares etc.
However, this rule is not applicable if your relatives present the gifts.
Relatives as per income tax act, 1961
Accordingly, there is no limit for accepting gift from relative.
ensure that you guys prepared gift deed.
