income tax

This Q is already answered in the topic GIFT RECEIVED IN CASH
anyway...
According to Sec 56(2)(va) any gift received from unrelated persons ( the section also specifies who are relatives) shall be fully taxable if it exceeds Rs 25000.
For example :
If I receive a gift of Rs 25000 from you Then Amount Taxable is Rs 0 (as it does not exceed Rs 25000)
If I receive a gift of Rs 25001 from you then the Amount Taxable is Rs 25001 (as it exceeds rs 25000)
Hope things are clear..
