Quick Summary
Gift from sister comes under exempt income as per sec. 56(2)(x) IT act. It may be declared under Schedule EI.
P.N. ::: Schedule EI has defect, waiting for glitch removal by developer; so if you use Schedule EI, it will not be uploaded.
Gift received from reletive is exempt under section 56(2) of the income tax Act 1961 . ( Now who are the reletives is also mentioned in this section , So Please refer section in detail) .
1) Yes , he has to show in IT return .
2) Not taxable
3) Show under exempt income.
4) Gift deed is must , as documentary evidence, so prepare and keep it for safer side.
Take more Opinion on this.
Not taxable; disclosure is optional but sensible:
• A sister is a "relative" (Sec 56(2)(x), Explanation). The Rs 51,000 gift is fully exempt, whatever the amount.
• In ITR-3: Schedule EI (Exempt Income) has "Others", where you can show it ("Gift from sister – exempt u/s 56(2)(x)"). It's not mandatory, but useful if the AO or AIS later queries a bank credit. If total income exceeds Rs 1 crore, Schedule AL captures assets anyway.
• Keep a simple gift letter from your sister and the bank trail. Cash gifts of Rs 2 lakh or more would breach Sec 269ST (not an issue at Rs 51,000).
• Clubbing doesn't apply (a gift between siblings isn't covered by Sec 64).
