Any CASH Gift received by Employee from Employer is Taxable as Income from Salaries without any monetary limit.
Whereas Gifts in Kind or Vouchers up to Rs.5000 are Exepmt, but if the Value of Gift exceeds Rs.5000, the entire amount will be taxable.
For Ex: Gift in Kind Rs.4000... is fully Exempt
Gift in Kind Rs. 6000.... then Rs.6000 is taxable as Income from Salaries & not Rs.1000 i.e. (6000-5000)
