My mother is house-wife and gets cash gift from relatives and deposited that money in her bank account in same month:

1. Cash gift 150000 from husband in may2023

2. Cash gift 190000 from husband in june2023

3. Cash gift 160000 from son in july2023

4. Cash gift 180000 from son in dec2023

5. Cash gift 100000 from daughter in jan2024

 

Total cash gift recevied & deposited in her bank account= 780000

I wanted to know two things:

A. is there any tax liability on my mother side ?

I think cash received by relatives exempt from taxation u/s 56(2) act of income tax.

B. where fill cash gift amount in ITR1 on I.T portal ?

C. is there any need to file ITR in this case ?

As you said that Husband is giving above 2 lakh amount, then tax will be taken but if we show different events of Husband, then still will amount (1.5L + 1.9L= 3.4L) be the taxable ?

 

If given through banking channel, not taxable....

For your Income Tax Return (ITR), the placement of cash gifts depends on whether they are taxable or exempt based on the source and amount:

  • Taxable Gifts: Enter cash gifts from non-relatives exceeding ₹50,000 in total under "Schedule OS" (Income from Other Sources) in the specific row for "Income chargeable u/s 56(2)(x)."

  • Exempt Gifts: For transparency, report tax-free gifts (from relatives or for your marriage) under the "Exempt Income" section (Schedule EI) by selecting the category for "Any other exempt income."
