Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of cash gifts received upon the birth of a child in the UK for the assessment year 21-22. Gifts from relatives are generally not taxable, regardless of the amount. However, gifts from non-relatives are taxable if they exceed £50,000, with the entire amount becoming taxable above this threshold. If a gift is deemed taxable, it may be clubbed with the parents' income.
If it is from relative then it won't be taxable irrespective of gift amount. if it is from non-relative then up to 50k not taxable if it exceeds 50k then whole amount will be taxable.
But the very basic idea behind the gift was the event of birth. and people generally mean to give gift to the child but its actually handed to the parents. in case on non-monetary gifts, relatives bring gold bangles or gold chain for the kid and not for the parents.
Gifts in cash up to Rs 50,000 in a financial year are exempt from tax. However if you receive gifts higher than this amount, the entire gift becomes taxable.
