Gift tax from Relative_Exempt_how may occasions in a year permitted?

As per Sec. 56 (2) (vi) (a) of Income Tax, gift received from a relative in cash is exempt irrespective of amount.

The query here is "If a person gives Rs. 75000 per month in cash as gift, to his relative falling under this section" is it exempted?

If it is eligible for exemption:

Should there be a gift deed in each case? i.e., every month when the person gives such gift, should a gift deed be made for the same to prove to the ITO if a dispute arises on this during assessment?

Kindly clarify.!

Yes...gifts received from relatives  is exempt...and that to without any limit....but ITD is smart enough and have made parallel clubbing provisons u/s 64........it means that if the gifted money is used by donee for earning any income then such income to taxed in the hands of that donor......
