1. According to sec 56(2)(x), any sum of money without consideration exceeds Rs. 50,000 in aggregate during the year will be taxable under the head Income from Other Sources.
2. However, the above provision will not be applicable if such a sum of money is received on occasion of the marriage of the individual.
3. In your case, gift received on occassion of marriage from a non-related person even if the same is received through cheque will not be subject to tax.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
