Is this gift taxed?

I don't think this amount will be taxed.

Gifts from relatives are Tax-Exempt

Any gift received from relatives of any amount during financial year is completely exempt from tax. Hence, it's crucial to understand the meaning of the expression 'relative' for this purpose. Explanation to Sec. 56(2) (vi) provides that the expression "relative" means:

• Spouse of the individual;
• Brother or sister of the individual;
• Brother or sister of the spouse of the individual;
• Brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual;
• Any lineal ascendant or descendant of an individual;
• Any lineal ascendant/descendant of spouse of the individual

Accordingly, in your case, Gift will not be taxed.

Not taxable.  Make a gift deed in a requisite stampt paper showing the details of amount gifted.

but it is advisable that you make a gift deed.
