Since married daughter is not "relative" of individual (senior citizen),as per Explanation of Section 56 (2)(vii).

Gifted income would be chargeable to tax in the hands of married daughter.

 

Thanx. For the reply. One of my friend suggested to make a gift deed, then there will be no tax liablity for the daughter. Is it correct?

No, asessee would not be exempted merly on the basis of execution of gift deed.

Agree with Mukesh Saini.......

 

Dear sir,

Nowhere in IT Act is written clearly, that MARRIED DAUGHTER is relative.

After a great analysis I found a judgement in this regard, namely

Manibhai Gaur Vs. Controller of ED (1980)

Now, I can say that Married Daughter does not cease to be 'Daughter' of her Father.

Hence, Married Daughter is 'relative' for the purpose of gifted income.

Since Married Daughter is 'relative' gifted income recieved from her father would be Exempt in her hands and not be taxable.

Gift Deed is required, in case of relative, for the exemption of Gifted Income.

Father gifts rs.200000 to son on marriage.... Tax implications in hand of >father >son
