Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around gift tax, specifically concerning gifts made to family members. It highlights that under Section 56(2) of the Income Tax Act, gifts received from relatives are generally exempt. The benefit of this exemption accrues to the receiver, not the giver. There's also a brief, light-hearted exchange about the correct abbreviation for 'section'.

Section 56 .

the receiver will get the benefit in income tax.
As per income tax sec 56(2)** gift received from relatives excempted.
