21 October 2010 agreed with CMA Sanjay Gupta....

22 October 2010 Both the gift are exempt in the assessment year 2010-11. This exemption is only for Assessment Year 2010-11.

However, if there is same situation in Assessment Year 2011-12, then all gifts amounting to Rs. 1,00,000 (50,000+50,000) shall be taxable.
