in the same section ther is a point that

gifts recieved under will is exempt

what about this
In the case of Income-tax Officer v. Mahabir Jute Mills Ltd. [1983] 17 TTJ (ALL.) 49 it was held that cousins cannot be considered as relatives. Hence any gift received from non relative of any nature whether by way of will or anything else It is wholly taxable Contact 7000879216
