If I received a gift from my father, should I mention it anywhere in my ITR or should I prepare a gift deed simultaneously?
What's the procedure we should follow whenever we receive the gift?

Quick Summary
When receiving a gift from your father, a gift deed is generally not required as it's considered exempt from tax under the Income Tax Act. Relatives' gifts are tax-free. However, you should declare this gift in your Income Tax Return (ITR) under Schedule EI. This clarifies the procedure for handling gifts from close relatives.
