Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of regular financial support received from a brother. The consensus is that such funds are considered gifts from a specified relative and are not taxable for the recipient. While a formal deed for each transaction isn't necessary, bank statements serve as proof of the gift in case of any tax scrutiny. The brother is paying tax on the money before gifting it, so the sister does not need to pay tax on it.

No it not taxable because gift from an specified relative is not to be taxed under section 56(2)(x)

Okay thank you for replying. please tell me one more thing does it required any deed or without deed will there be any problem in future. as he sends her money every month so deed for every transaction will not be possible.

Nothing is needed . your bank statement will be the proof in case of scrutiny
This amount taxable in brother income i.e. Not tax to be paid by sister.

The gift deed to be prepare transactions wise for safe side in future
