it you received gift from you relatives then it is not taxable u/s 56(2) if you received gift from any other person then it is not taxable if it is less than rs.25000/- if gift is in excess of rs.25000/- then whole of amount is taxable there is no basic esxemption in this section it is your icome from other sources and it is as a regular income of you
