Provisions of Sec.56 (2) (vi) are not applicable to gift received from a relative. The definition of relative includes Brother of the individual and hence nothing is taxable. There is no limit for accepting gift from relative.

I totally agree with what Mr. Ashok said. The gift from relative is not a taxable gift.
