10 March 2014 yes , any transaction as a gift to close relatives /blood relations have no tax liability to either father or son in this case. However you need to make a deed for this gift.

30 May 2014 Cash gift given by father to his son irrespective of the quantum of amount shall be completely exempt in the hands of son. And father cannot claim deduction of gift given by him as it is not of revenue nature but of capital nature hence the result will be reduction in capital of father.
