Amounts received by the nominee is taxable in the hands of nominee ?

Depends upon nature of receipt; but usually not.

Well.. the answer would depend on a lot of other aspects like:

1. Nature of amount received eg. Insurance proceeds, FD maturity proceeds, etc.

2. Whether the nominator is deceased or not?

For instance, any Interest or FD proceeds or any other asset received consequent to death of nominator does not partake the nature of income in hands of recepient (nominee), since its an estate devolving upon them (Inheritance).
 

THANK YOU SIRS

THE AMOUNT IS FD MATURITY AND AS WELL AS THE BALANCES IN THE SAVING ACCOUNT.  THE NOMINATOR HAS DIED AND HIS LEGAL HEIR HAS RECEIVED IT FROM THE BANK.

HOW IT CAN BE DECLARED IN THE RETURN OF INCOME BY THE NOMINEE ????

PLEASE SUGGEST

As exempt income.

SIR, UNDER WHICH SECTION OR CLAUSE ????

Sir

In which clause or para in ITR No.4 to be filled regarding the above exempted income details

Sir, whether have to declare it in ITRs ??

Schedule EI

Also in clause (5) of Schedule BP, if you have included it in your books of accounts.

THANK YOU SIRS

Ref to answer by Dhirajlal Rambhia. In the first para it says The provisions of section 56(2)(vii) inserted w.e.f. 1.10.2009 are not applicable in case the specified properties are received from a relative or in other prescribed circumstances. But the very next sentence contradicts the same. Please explain without any ambiguity the two sentences contradicting each other.

Also inheritance means only a legal heir? What if one is just a friend and gets property or money by being named in a Will? Any taxes are to be paid by the receiver?
