Respected CA Community,

Greetings !

I have few basic queries around giving money to father (who is a retired govt. employee and his only source of income is the interest that he gets from his retirmenet money) :

(1) I plan to give around 10 lakh INR to my father. Do i need to mention this in my ITR when i file income tax return next year ? 

(2) Does my father needs to mention this in ITR that he received money from me?

(3) Does he has to pay Income Tax on INR 10 lakh?

(4) Do i need to do any paper work for giving money to my father or i can just simply transfer the money to his account?

(5) Any other thing i need to know regarding giving money to my father?

Look forward to your responses. Thanks in advance.
