01 August 2014 Money gifted from father to son will not come under section 56(2)since gift received from relatives is exempt. so far as clubbing provisions are concerned, clubbing provisions will not apply as such transaction is not covered u/s 64 and since the child is also major, income accrues to him as interest on FD will be taxable in his hands only. Clubbing provisions would have applied had he been a minor.
