26 April 2014 hello harinder ,

any property received from a relative in the form of gift is absolutely tax free ... In this case Mother is included in the defination and the entire property is tax free... there are many sections under income tax act which govern the term Relation ... but in this context please go through Sec 2(41)

the answer to your second question is that the rent derived from the property is not included in in his mothers income and is treated as his income and charged under the head income from house property...
