First of all -I beg pardon from both the "AB" for interrupting their "Discussion on Gifts".
.
First query generates a reply. A sincere and very lucid reply by Abhishek.
.
When Abhishek has given the reply so nicely, abcd should have taken coginisance of the reply in his subsequent query by showing an attitude of being a "well receiver" or could request to further reply
.
Abhishek should have avoided the acceptance of " Cash Gifts" in spite of insisting for the Gift of "Immovable Property or otherwise.

It always happens in the matters related to gifts in families. In families, 80% discussion goes on gifts...may be of any occasion.

Whether execution of documents is required ?

On a trivial issue of replying a query, in which the object of gift has been changed from in kind to in cash, we have seen that in CA Club Family it has raised many questions like comprehension or spelling mistakes etc.... what will happen when any dispute will arise in the family related with the amount or object gifted.
(Sabse hoti he galti , Hum Shuddh Hindi Nahi Likh Sakte, Sahi English kya khak likh payenge. Angrez bhi spelling mistake karte hi honge jaise hum Hindi me karte he. English koi "Sanskrit" Jaisi bhasha hey ? Chala lo...Bhai.. Spelling mistake me mat atko.....!!!!!
(Meri ....bhi.... ho to ....Maph... karna)
To avoid such litigations, claims, ambiguity, it is always proper to have documented the gifts. It hardly costs Rs. 500/- ( Please Do not argue. May be deemed for the stamp paper + out of pocket expenses).

In case of marriage gifts, as per prevailing traditions, gifts are recorded, during or after the marriage. Keep the detailed list ready whenever asked for.
