1. Generally, any amount received as gift from an employer, if the monetary value of the gift exceeds Rs. 50,000 then the entire value of gift will be taxable as gift u/s 56(2)(x).
2. However, an exemption was provided where such gifts are received on occasion of the marriage of the individual.
3. In your case, Rs. 1 lakh gift was on occasion of marriage hence it will not be taxable in the hands of the employee.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
