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
