Dear Ridhi,

Gifts received FROM ONE OR MORE PERSONS in excess of Rs. 50,000 are taxable, provided it should not be received from a relative or in a circumstances at listed in Sec 56

That is to say in case of Gifts received from relatives or in circumstances mentioned in Sec 56 ANY AMOUNT RECEIVED IS NOT AN INCOME.(EVEN IN EXCESS OF Rs. 50,000)

Now Coming to ur question if Rs. 21,000 is the only gift received then it is not taxable since aggregate value of such gifts has not exceeded the threshold limit of Rs. 50,000..

Further there could be a typing error in the book which u r referring & the word "Not" before Taxable is missing.

As gar as Gift received by Minor is concerned that answer is correct, since aggregate amount of gifts in a FY has not exceeded the threshold of Rs. 50,000.hence NOT TAXABLE.

Husband's Friends does not come under the purview of "Relative" as per Section 56. Hence the Gift shall be taxable only if it exceeds Rs. 50000.

Dear Ridhi,

Yes u r rite once it exceedes the limit of Rs. 50,000 then entire sum is taxable & not only in excess of Rs. 50,000.(But shoud be from Non relative or from circumstances other then Sec 56)

Dear Amir & Others,

If Gifts are received in excess of Rs, 50,000/- from unrelated persons:

(1) Will the complete amount of Gift (suppose Rs. 1,60,000/-) be treated as Income from other sources?

(2) What if the assesse has no other income then the Gift of Rs. 1,60,000/- in A.Y 2010-2011, Will he have to pay any tax?

(3) What if he has no other income and receives Gift of Rs. 2,60,000/- in A.Y 2010-2011 and he purchases NSC of Rs. 1,00,000?

(4) Is it Necessary to keep any documentary proof of said Gift or else what it can be treated by ITO?

Dear Ayushraj,

1) Yes once it exceeds then entrire amount is taxable & not only in excess of Rs. 50,000

2) No special rate of tax is there for this gift & it will be taxable as per Slab..So where assesee has no other Income & Gifts received u/s 56 is less then the exemption limit then no tax is payable.

3) Deduction can be claimed out of this Gift - since it is an ordinary Income. So in this case again No tax will be payable.

4) Its better to keep it.
