gift and will are two different things. while a gift can be effective immediately on conveyance will takes effect only after death of testator. A person can both gift and will to his grandson. A person can receive gift of any kind and of any amount (not exceeding Rs 2 lakh if in cash) from uncle but vice versa is not true i.e. uncle cannot receive gift from his nephew/neice as he or she will not be covered under 'relative' and value of immovable property exceeding Rs 50000/- will be taxed in the hands of recipeint.
