On whole amount.......and not in excesss...

 

Can you elaborate the question please....

1. Gifts made in cash or convertible to money is not exempt

2. Gifts upto Rs.5,000/- in aggregate per annum would be exempt, beyond which it would be taxable (Refer notification no. 94/2009 dated 18th Dec'09)

Amount exceeding Rs.5,000 in aggregate during the previous year is taxable

Dear sekar,

In this case the gift value exceeding 5000 aggregate in the year is taxable.

The fair market value of the gift would be taken as the value of perquisite for this purpose.
