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 will be considered as income as per Sec 56(2)(x). However, as it is received from a 'relative', it will not be taxed. i e it will be exempt.

Brother of either of the parents of the individual is considered a 'relative' for the above section. So 'uncle' comes in the definition of a relative.
Yes. it is income in the nature of capital receipt.
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.

If you are proprietor it is neither income not asset , add same gift in Capital account, pass entry .
