My daughter, a student, aged 19 years, received gift of Rs 10 lakh from my mother (grandmother to granddaughter) and also Rs 5 lakh from me ( father to daughter). The total sum of 15 lakh is presently invested in her bank FD. What will be the tax implication on the interest earned. Wheather the clubbing of income provision be applicable in this case.

My daughter has no source of income .

May be no clubbing is required.
Interest Income on FDR will be taxable as income from other sources
However FDR from Grand Mother will be taxable as Grand Mother is not covered in the definition of relative.
