Yes..it will be taxed u/s 56(2) as the amount exceeds Rs.50000..
It is not taxable if :
It is recieved from relative
It is recieved on occassion of marriage
It is recieved by way will/inheritance
It is recieved in contemplation of death of the payer...

No reply is to the point, i think shekhar is telling that it will be taxable. but my question is that can't we treat this as a gift from a relative, as the gift is given by a HUF to one of the member which in turn can be treated as a relative???
