As I don't know the country name I giving you example of us dollars if the gift amount exceeds usdollar 14000 your friend will pay the gift tax in US and you will pay the income tax on the excess amount above rs 50000

If the amount received is in the nature of loan then there's no tax implications. better get a confirmation letter from your friend that he's paid certain amount as loan @ some percentage interest. moreover it's always safer side some minimal amount as interest to strengthen the loan theory or else it'll be treated as amount received without consideration and will be taxable
@ rama Krishnan & @ ayusmita amount is exceeding 50k ... and if I'm taking confirmation of loan from my friend than what would be the format like any legal stamped paper of that country or simply plain with sign .... and then also tax is implied then in which section and under what head ... as I was not working for that year .. no income source

Since your friend is residing abroad presently, so executing loan deed is not possible. so confirmation in plain paper is suffice. for loan amount there's no tax implications
And in which section it will be shown and under which head like Other source .... If I'm going to file itr 1 or 4
No need to show under any head... just disclose in your balance sheet as unsecured loan
What rama Krishnan sir says right it's not possible to draft a loan deed so you can make a personal loan agreement contract with your friends and the contract should include all the usual elements of a loan like amount , interest even if preferential or zero, principal, term, consequences of default and currency of loan
and in my opinion if you disclose this debt in your IT returns it will be good in future

Fill itr 4 show in balance sheet as per sir said
Thank you 😊 to both of you .... it's such a great help ... and I'm grateful to you both for such beneficial help ....
Thanks welcome @ ayusmita ma'am and kavitha ma'am
Welcome Kavitha
And Thank you rama Krishnan sir
In a major relief to international money transfer giant Western Union, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has exempted it from paying income tax in India overturning an order of the Commissioner of Income-Tax (Appeals).
I hope this helps.
