A Query:

 

In case of Gift Received from relatives or Non-relatives, it should be reported in IT Return.

Suppose that return was selected for  Scrutiny and AO raised question about receipt of Gifts.

Now how that assessee will prove the receipt of Gift. Should he produce Gift Deed??

Practically in many cases we don’t find Gift Deed.

Please kindly suggest the ideas in such situations.
