I had filed my (AY 11-12 )return, after due date. I forgot to mention gift recd from my mother under exempt income head. Amt is 5 lac.
1) Can you please advice, If I can revise return now. I understand that return can be revised within one after the end of Assessment year ie upto 31.03.2013 , only if return if filed before due date.
2) As solution, should I include this gift amt in my next year return ie. Income tax return for AY 12-13?
What will be implication, if I include this income in next year return or revise my return? Please suggest.

Gift is not an income under any section of the act. Only in section 56 it has been mentioned that amount received from relatives will not be tax. You need not show that as income. Only you have to credit the same in capital account.
