Quick Summary
Query: whether gift of money from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law is taxable. As per Section 56(2)(x), gifts from 'relatives' are exempt. Mother-in-law qualifies as relative (spouse of lineal ascendant of spouse). Hence gift is not taxable in hands of mother-in-law, though some confusion exists.

I think no...

As per definition of relatives not covered for above said relationship...
mother of ur spouse falls under relative definition
it's exempt..... cause of we see from the perspective of mother in-law , daughter in law is spouse of her lineal ascendent ... there for gift is received by the relative hence not taxable
Yes agreed with views..........
Above said Mother in Law and Daughter in law not under the definition of Relatives...

Any one have detailed definition then can explain here...
RAJA P M sir the definition of relative under section 56(2) includes lineal ascendent and their spouses ... therefore for mother in law her son's wife would be a relative ... hence gift would not be taxable .
No Dear.,

– Spouse of Individual

– Brother & Sister of Individual

– Brother & Sister of Spouse of Individual

– Brother & Sister of either of the parents of Individual

– Any Lineal ascendants or descendants of the individual

-Any Lineal ascendants or descendants of the spouse of the individual.

Combine reading of (v) & (vii)....

(vii)  spouse of the person referred to in clauses [(ii) to (vi)] here (v)......... means .... son's wife (DIL) or Bahu and secondly Daughter's husband (Jawai)

[i] spouse of the individual;

[ii] brother or sister of the individual;

[iii] brother or sister of the spouse of the individual;

[iv] brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual;

[v] any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual;

[vi] any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual;

see the vii , spouse of lineal ascendent will be a relative therefore for mother in law , her daughter in law is relative.
