24 June 2008 What exactly u r trying to ask?

a) If u r asking taxability from the view point of Income Tax Act, gift from relatives is exempt.

"Relatives" includes, any lineal descendant of the individual.e.g, daughter

Gift to grand daughter is taxable in the hands of grand daughter

b) If u r asking taxability from the view point of Gift Tax Act, let me remind you that Gift Tax Act is abolished long back
