Dear Madhav,

                           As per Section 56 of Income Tax Act, 1961 Gift  will taxable if amount of Gift is more than Rs. 50,000/-

 

it doesn make any difference

whether it is received in india or from abroad

so it is taxable if amt received is more dan 50000Rs-/

thanks... but r u sure? bcz money is not earned in india. pl give one more serious thought to this issue.

 

regards, madhav
