05 January 2009 A HUF consists of a person, his wife and two sons. Father of the karta makes a gift of Rs. 2 lacs to the HUF by way of an account payee cheque. The gift recd by a HUF from the parents of the karta are taxable under the head Income from other sources. I want to know if the gift is recd in two parts i.e. on one day Rs. 50000/- and after some days Rs. 150000/- from the same person or different person then the taxable amount will be Rs. 2 lacs or a deduction or Rs. 50000 will be available.
Please guide me.
It is urgent.
Thanx
