If assesse is resident in india then global income is taxable in india. gift received outside india is taxable if value is more than 50K INR
Receipt of gift is capital receipt and not an income nor accrued income.

However ------
Gift received by Resident though outside India but from a relative is tax free and no tax thereon.

Gift from non-relative is exempt upto 50000/- in aggregate but the moment it exceeds 50000/- , the entire amount is taxable as deemed income under income from other sources.
