27 October 2010 the same will be taxed in the hand of lady as gift and will be chargeable to tax.
1)I think donor shud donate to NGO with specfic direction to use the money for the welfare of widow family.
2)instead of giving money directly, donor should take care of their livilyhood, which shud not cross exemption limit.
