Gift tax

Gift in your case is not taxable.

hi,

Gifts received from any relative, as defined under Income Tax Act, is not taxable.

Relatives include :

• spouse of the individual.
• brother or sister of the individual.
• brother or sister of the spouse of the individual.
• brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual.
• any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual.
• any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual.
• and the spouse of the person referred to as aforesaid.

It is always adviced to maintain documentary evidence in respect of the gifts received, to avoid any dispute with tax authorities at a later stage.

This is particularly relevant in case the gift amount is substantial as in your case and also where it is received from relatives. it is advisable to have gift deed/letter of understanding exchanged and kept in records by the recipient of the gift for future reference..

Thanks
