Dear sir, If an individual receives a gift of Rs. 200000/- lacs in cash, from his father-in-law on the occasion of his marriage. whether the said gift would be allowed by Assessing Authority as exempt ? Regards !

Yes. Gift received on occasion of marriage from anyone is exempt from tax. Also there is no limit in this regard. So in the given case gift will be fully exempt in the hands of recipient.
