Sir, My question is : Why gift money to maternal uncle is taxable u/s 56(2)(x) if brother of parent of an individual is counted as relative according to section 2(41) of income tax,1961 ? My maternal uncle is certainly the brother of my mother who is my parent ?
Also please clarify if gift deed can be made now for gift given in the past.

Reverse is true, for niece: uncle being 'Brother or sister of either of the parents' is relative as per the sec. 56(2)(x) IT act; hence niece can get tax free gift/s from uncle or Bua.
