24 August 2011 Dear,
My cousin sister is about 28 yrs old. She is about to get married & she wants to transfer money possessed in her bank account to her mother as gift. can she be able to do that? if yes then How without tax implication on her mother for gift? when i discussed same with one of the financial adviser, he was of the opinion that on receipt of gift her mother may be taxed is scrutinized & found unsatisfactory by IT officer. I am deeply confused pls provide me some solution.

24 August 2011 To save from the problem of scrutiny, get a gift deed typed on a Rs. 10 stamp paper so that it can be used as a proper evidence.
