For future reference a communication from your Mother to your wife giving detail of mode of gift is advisable to be prepared. Also preserve copy of bank account of both showing the entry of payment and receipt of Rs. 5,00,000.00. A formal Gift deed not stamp paper is not necessary. N Jain group.blr@gmail.com
