30 December 2013 Dear Siddhi,

As per section 56 of the income tax act, any property received on account of inheritance, is not chargeable to tax as income from other sources.

Hence, the whole of the amount of the property and the FDR is totally exempt from tax.

Should you have any more queries….pl ask
