Gifting money to Niece

Hello experts, kindly guide me.

I want to transfer Rs. 10 lakh to my niece bank account and convert that amount into an FD and gift it to her. This is from the perspective of preparation for her marriage in next 2-3 yrs. Please enlighten me on the tax implications on my / my niece. What type of documents do I need to prepare to make this a legitimate gift.

regards,

Somu

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications and legal requirements when gifting a significant sum of money, such as Rs. 10 lakh, to a niece in the UK. The conversation clarifies whether a niece falls under the definition of a 'relative' for tax purposes and the potential tax liabilities for both the giver and receiver. Advice is also given on the necessary documentation, like a gift deed, to ensure the transaction is legitimate.

No tax implications on both..u need to prepare gift deed

hello Horizon Learning

Since relative covers "d.Brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual", will there be still some tax implications on my niece on the amount transferred ?
 

Niece - She is not under the definition of relatives.
So, Tax is applicable in the gift.

Thanks Mr. Raja P M ji.

Can you pls clarify in light of this defination of relative "d.Brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual" whether Niece will still not be considered as relative ?
