Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of a partnership firm gifting an employee Rs 10,00,000.00. While gifts up to Rs 50,000 are generally exempt, the excess amount of Rs 9,50,000 is taxable. The employee will need to declare this as income under the 'Salary' head, with the firm able to claim it as a business expense.
Rs. 50,000.00 is exempt but balance amount of Rs. 9,50,000.00 will be taxable under the head "income from other sources" (slab rate applicable) while filing your return.
Actually as you (employee) are receiving gift from the firm, the whole amount will be taxable under the head salary and will be treated as your salary income. The firm can claim such amount as salary expense. Sorry i didn't read your query carefully. Sorry!!
