27 February 2010 Gift tax is applicable. If the value is more than 50000 then the same should be added to the receiver of the gift as income from other sources and accordingly tax has to be paid.

01 March 2010 how the above gift is taxable since law says, gift can be taken by brothers and sisters of either of the parents,
if tax is exempted for the value received by the brothers and sisters of the parents,
can't the value given as gift to the brothers and sisters of the parents(vice versa to the clause in law )
