Is it attract the gift tax

Normaly gits are taxed if they exceed Rs. 50000 monetary or other wise....

However gifts from a relative are exemted in any case........however the relative should be included in the definition....a brother normally comes under the definition of relative.......

So not bothering about the adoption..its exemted from tax.......

refer the official pan card of both the persons. if father name is common in both the pan card, then gift is not taxable, otherwise taxable.

Agree with Mr.US Sharma only......if adoption is under relevant law than it shall come under section 56 (2) clause 7.Hence taxable.
