neither it is taxable in the hands of married daughter u/s 56(2)(vii) [because gift received on her marriage and it doesn't matter who is the donee] and nor it is taxable in the hands of her father.

As per my last quote i meant to say that show this money as received by your client's daughter in her marriage. By doing this your client will not require to include these receipts in his total income and it will be exempt in the hands of his daughter as per Section 56(2)(vii).

If your client wants to include this reciepts in his total income than it will be taxable if such receipts are in excess of Rs.50,000 [the whole amount is taxable u/s 56(2)(vii)].
