Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the best way to transfer money from a son to his father, focusing on cash transactions. It highlights that gifts between son and father are tax-free, with a limit of under £2 lakh in cash per year to avoid violating Section 269ST. For amounts exceeding this, creating a gift deed is recommended, even if not registered, to document the transaction and prevent legal issues. Loans are also discussed, with a strict limit of under £20,000 in cash to comply with Section 269SS.
For large transactions, it is always better to create a gift deed. You can show below 2L for single transaction in cash. Otherwise, there will be voilation of section 269ST
