Cash gifts received in marriage

I received about 3 lacs rupees in cash gift in my marriage recently, since such amount does not attract tax, I have the following queries:-

1) Should the amount be disclosed as ‘Exempted Income’ under ‘Others’ category in ITR-4 form?

2) Should it not be disclosed under exempt category and treated as Capital receipts?

3) Or treated as something else, as per expert advise?

1. No
2. No
3. It will be treated as Capital Receipt and will go capital Account directly.
