20 June 2008 Mrs X transfers a sum of Rs 8 lakh to her daughter-in-law without any consideration and this sum is given on loan by daughter-in-law to a third party, whether Mrs X or her dauhter-in-law chargeable to tax? IF yes , then by what amount? Can it be treated as gift from relative and so no tax liability ?

20 June 2008 Hi..

If the sum is gifted during any special occasion or under any will or a gift deed is executed then it is not taxable..

Otherwise the sum of Rs.8 lakh is clubbed with Income of Mrs.X and taxed..

20 June 2008 Mrs X can Tr. in what capicity. if it is gift then it is not taxable because it is covered under the defination of relative u/s 57 . and if it is loan to her daughter- in-law then alos no question of taxability. but loan is with interest then intt. must be taxable income.
