31 January 2010 Gift received from relatives are Exempt.
Who will be considered as as Relative of HUF in case of Gift u/s 56(2)?

In My point of view no one can be considered as relative of HUF for the purpose of Gift.

Can some help in with reference to Case Law

23 April 2010 A plain reading of provisions of section 56(2) defines relative as

Explanation.—For the purposes of this clause, “relative” means—

(i) spouse of the individual;

(ii) brother or sister of the individual;

(iii) brother or sister of the spouse of the individual;

(iv) brother or sister of either of the parents of the individual;

(v) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual;

(vi) any lineal ascendant or descendant of the spouse of the individual;

(vii) spouse of the person referred to in clauses (ii) to (vi);]

So there cannot a relative of HUF as the same are for individuals only.
