Gift  received in Marriage of an Individual  is  exempt form  Tax  as per  section 56(2) of the Income  tax act 1961

confirm with others also. 

Sir, but he is receiving cheque as a gift then also exempted aah..?

Where It  is  written  in Income tax act 1961  ?. , that cheque  received  in marriage  is Taxable  in the hands of  recipient , only the word  Money  is mentioned in proviso . 

please inform .   

As per section 56(2) , it is receipt of any sum on the occasion of marriage. So no problem in cheque.

1. According to sec 56(2)(x), any sum of money without consideration exceeds Rs. 50,000 in aggregate during the year will be taxable under the head Income from Other Sources. 
2. However, the above provision will not be applicable if such a sum of money is received on occasion of the marriage of the individual. 
3. In your case, gift received on occassion of marriage from a non-related person even if the same is received through cheque will not be subject to tax.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
