My uncle wants to gift by bank transfer, kindly let me know if its taxable?
Are there any caps on the amount being transferred?
Thanks

He can Gift , But you need to pay Tax on the whole amount .
Alternative way is . Your mama gifts it to your mother and your mother gifts it to you ( after a few months or a year at least)

Gift received from mother's brother is tax-exempt. Mama comes under relatives, under IT act.

It will be tax exempt to Bhanja. There is no cap/limit; but it should be through banking mode. Additionally, you can prepare Gift deed on safer side.

Declare it under Schedule IFOS, and pay tax over it.

As per IT rules, any gift of Rs. 50,000/- or more to any individual, from Non-Relative/s, on other than specific occasion/s, are taxed at normal slab rate.
Good luck.
