My brother is residing in USA and doing Job there. He send Rs. 2 lacs and the same is directly deposited in my savings Bank Account in India. Is this amount is taxable in my hand? Can i treat the same as Gift in my file? He regularly send me the money.He is paying tax there on his earning.

gift tax is not in force now. gifts are taxable under income tax. but gift from brother is not taxable, so just prepare a gift deed and get it signed by ur bro..
