Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of gifts received. Gifts from an employer exceeding £5,000 are taxable as salary perquisites. Gifts from relatives, such as a mother's sister, are generally exempt. Gifts received on the occasion of one's own marriage are also exempt from tax.

1). 1,50,000 From Employer : Taxable under head Salary as perqusite because Any gift received from the employer, of a sum exceeding Rs 5,000, is treated as taxable compensation in hands of employee [as per Section 17(2)(viii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 read with Rule 3(7)(iv) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962].
2). 1,00,000 from mother's sister : Exempt as Gift from relative
3). 10,000 on marriage : Exempt if received on occasion of marriage(self).
150000 taxable under Salary
100000 and 10000 received are exempt
