Transfer of funds to relative

202 views 6 replies

Sir, I want to transfer 10L white money which I saved out of my salary over the past 6 years. I want to transfer money because income from salary and interest on FD when clubbed together resulting in huge tax payment. I want to transfer 10L to my brother so that he can open an FD on his name. My brother is unemployed. Will there be any tax on the Rs.10L if I transfer Money in my brother's account? He is my own brother..

Today I spoke to Bank Manger and he says, " It seems that to avoid TDS on income from other sources, you want to invest the amount in your brother's account so that he can invest in FD which is indirectly benefiting you by avoiding Tax. As per IT rules, the only exception is your Parents, but not others including your spouse and children"- Hence the best option is to transfer the amount to your parent account." Can you please suggest me how to proceed further in the matter

By the by, I have no intention to take money(both 10L and Interest out of FD) given to my brother. My brother will have quarterly interest on FD and he will use that money for his personal purposes. Please advise. Regards,  Krishna

"I have no intention to take money(both 10L and Interest out of FD) given to my brother."

Make Gift deed, and pay him by cheque.

I agree with Dheerajji

prepare a gift deed on required stamp and transfer the amount through bank account for giving gift to your brother, such gift is not taxable

Dhiraj Sir, Thanyou so much. By the by, will there be any tax on Rs.10L to my brother for receiving the amount? Regards, Kittu

Dinesh Ji, is there any threshold regarding amount that is given to my brother as gift deed?

Gift from brother is exempt from any tax. there is no threashold limit to gift, but the amount should be answerable, and the transaction should be through banking channel.

Thankyou very much Dhirajlal Sir for giving your valuable advise. 

Regards, Kittu
