If your family members covered under relative definition as per IT Act then there will be no tax on gifted amount irrespective of amount/value of gift.

If the relative is under the definition of the relative then gift to relative is exempt.

As per my understanding, you are asking about the gift giver, he cannot have any deduction for the amount given as gift. And in the case of recipients, if they come under relative definition then no taxable.
