The definition of Relatives includes spouse of any lineal ascendant or descendant and therefore Rs.500000/- is not taxable in the hands of father-in-law. But there is a doubt that whether Gift should be in cash or through account payee cheque or account payee demand draft. Please wait for reply from other experts. Gift deed must be executed in case of such gifts.
