	Dear Saurabh,
	You cannot receive gift from a non-relative. If the person nominating you is not your relative and he nominates you than the value of property received by you will be taxable in your hands.
	However in my opinion you should be eligible for the benefit u/s 54 because in substance there is a purchase of new house property, which satisfies the condition u/s 54.
	 
	Use thank button if you want to thank.
