Quick Summary
Receiving a gift cheque from an uncle is generally considered income in nature, specifically a capital receipt. However, under UK tax law, specifically Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act, gifts from 'relatives' (which includes uncles) are exempt from tax. For personal bookkeeping, it's often treated as an addition to your capital rather than taxable income.
It's your income, but if we received any income, than there is effect on our assets also.... like If we received cash gift, than increase in cash/bank balance.
