Brother wants to assist sister in property purchase but the 18L money transfer is done from brother's wife account to sister's account. Is sister will have to pay tax on the amount?

Quick Summary
Gift of Rs.18 lakh from brother's wife to sister is generally tax-free as sister-in-law is covered under relative definition u/s 56. Maintain bank trail and preferably a gift deed/document for future income tax scrutiny. Lack of documentation may invite notice or clarification request.

Gift should remain tax-free for sister.

Brother’s wife is also treated as “relative”.

Maintain proper gift documentation and banking trail for safety.

There is no gift documentation or agreement deed. Will wife get IT notice?
