Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of gifts made to grandchildren. Gifts from grandparents to their grandchildren are generally considered exempt from tax as they are received from a relative. However, any income generated from investments made with these gifted funds will be subject to income tax and clubbed with the parents' income.
For grandson his grandfather/grandmother is a relative so it is not taxable in the hands of grandson.However if the gift received is further invested somewhere then the income arising from that investment will be clubbed in the hands of parents.
