Gift from maternal uncle to wife

My maternal uncle is desirous of giving my children a cash gift. Although giving it directly to them would be taxable, I understand that u/s 56(2) pt. d, he can give it to me.

1. Can he also give it to my wife? As there are certain litigations in my name, I do not wish to bring that amount into scrutiny.

2. Can I or my wife immediately gift it to my child in the same financial year?

as per sec 56(2)(x) if gift received from relative defined under income tax act, then such gift shall not be taxable. In that definition brother, sister & their spouses of an individual's parents are included. hence if received from him, it's not taxable. A gift received by child from his parents is also not taxable

You didnt understand the question. Can the uncle gift to the individuals spouse?

And the second part of the question. can it be regifted to another person in same period?

if individual's spouse receives gift from individual's maternal uncle then it shall be taxable & if she gifts the same asset to her child, then no tax liability
