Quick Summary
A brother received a gift of Rs. 51,000 from his sister and is seeking guidance on whether it needs to be declared in his IT returns and if it's taxable. Gifts from specified relatives are generally exempt under Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act and should be declared under Schedule EI as exempt income. While not taxable, a gift deed is recommended as documentary evidence.

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.
