Dear Varun,
Finance Bill, 2009 had brought a change in the taxability of the gifts received by an Individual.
Hon'ble Finance Minister has enlarge the ambit of gift tax. Earlier, gift received in Cash (exceeding the limits of Rs. 50,000/-) was taxable only. However, effective from 1st October 2009 gifts received in Kind will also be taxable if there value exceeds Rs. 50,000/-.This change has come in to effect from 01st October only.
In nutshell, gifts received in kind (Immovable property, securities, Jewellary will be taxable effective from 01st October 2009, not before that.
