can you explain me gift funda in treated income tax
Receipts on occasion of marriage of the individual
Receipts under a will or inheritance
Receipts received from a relative.
Since 1/10/2009, Section 56(2) has been amended and the scope of ‘’gifts’’ will include even immovable properties or any other property besides sums of money under its ambit.
Gifts that are not taxable at all are those that are received from relatives. Relatives are defined by the following relationships of the individual:
Parents
Parents siblings and their spouse
Siblings
Spouse of siblings
Daughter and son
Spouse of daughter and son
Spouse
Spouse’s parents
Spouse‘s siblings and their respective spouse.
Even NRI’s are covered as long as they fall in the category of relatives. Therefore an individual Indian resident can receive a tax free gift from an NRI as long as he/she is that individuals relative. Any amount can be received as a gift from a relative. Also the purpose for which the gift is received from a relative is inconsequential as it is completely tax free. Thus a gift received can be used for any purpose ranging from purchasing shares to buying property to even simply keeping it with the bank.
Note on gifting on immovable properties
There is a valuation aspect involved in gifting of immovable properties:-
If the property is gifted without any consideration then if the stamp duty value exceeds Rs. 50000/-, stamp duty value will be taken
If the property is gifted for a consideration, then the actual value of the property will be taken
In case of other properties:
If gifted without consideration and fair market value exceeds 50000, then the fair market value will be taken as the final value
If gifted for a consideration and the FMV less consideration is greater than 50000, then the FMV less consideration amount will be taken as the value of the gift.
As mentioned earlier NRI’s can also give gifts to resident Indians. Therefore, It is important to understand the meaning of an NRI as per the IT act.
An individual will be treated as a non resident in India in any previous year if he fulfils any of the following two conditions:
he/she is NOT in India in that year for period or periods amounting in all to 182 days or more, or
Having within the four years preceding that year NOT been in India for a period or periods amounting in all to 365 days or more, and has NOT been in India for 60 days or more in that year.
