Mariiage gifts after 8 years

A query has been raised regarding whether a substantial gift (10 lakh) can be received by an individual in their Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) eight years after their marriage, and if this can be classified as a marriage gift to avoid income tax. The response indicates that it cannot be retrospectively shown as a marriage gift. However, gifts from specified relatives under Section 56(2) of the Income Tax Act are tax-free. Further advice is available if the relative is not specified.
