Tax queries 11024 views 6 replies

As per my information any Cash Gift from Father-in-law to Son-in-law after Marriage is Taxable at the hand of Son-In_Law.

Am I correct or has there been any change in Gift Tax.

If there is no Gift Tax in the above please inform the Section of Act also.

Which donors' gifts are exempt?

There is exemption for gifts received from certain people. The gifts that one receives from relatives on the occasion of marriage, the gifts receives from parents and grand parents, the gift received by a daughter-in-law from her parents-in-law, and gifts received by way of a will and inheritance are exempt.

The gifts received by a son-in-law from his parent-in-law will be taxed.

A Non-Resident Indian can gift to his/her parents in India from their NRE (Non-Resident External) account without their parents suffering any tax.

as per my understanding.

 

In bold line its saying,

any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual;


means

if the asseessee is male, than his wife's ascendant and descendant can give gift

like wise

if the asseessee is female, than her husband's ascendant and descendant can give gift.
