Gift income tax

He should pay to his so as gift and son should pay to builder. If he takes this amount as loan from father with interest or interest free then father can pay directly to builder

Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

if my understanding is correct, if father pays directly to the builder then it cannot be called as gift?

So in the above case how to deal with the amount of Rs.5 lakh paid by X's father directly ? 

Take it as a interest free loan from father to son with proper documentation . Whenever feasible son can keep returning loan with digital payment. 

Respected sir,

Thanks a lot 

Its on you , how to show in the books of X......... ..
