Well as far as taxability of gift u/s 56(2)(vi) is concerned it is restricted to Rs 50,000/- in aggregate received by an Individual and HUF from other than a relative without consideration or inadequate consideration.
w.e.f 1/10/09 it has been extended to Immovable property and property other than immovable property including cash aggregate of which is again restricted to Rs 50,000/- received by an individual and HUF without consideration or inadequate consideration from a person other than a relative.
In case of cash if exceeds Rs 50,000/- it would be directly be a part of Income from Other sources.
but if it is concerned with immovable property(without adequate consideration) stamp duty would be considered as the sale consideration & cost of acquisition would be nil if is not given under any will or inheritance,on the ocassion of marriage etc where it is out of the scope of Gift.
For movable property FMC would be considered as the sale consideration if it is less than the Mkt value for inadequate consideration.
I think this brief explanation would be very helpful to get an idea of the whole picture.

No it is completely wrong to say that any Gift in kind is taxable. Gift received from the relatives (following relatives definition) is not at all taxable.
For example Gift received on occassion of marriage is also in kind but it is totally out of the scope of the definiton of the Gift w.e.f 1/10/09 hence not taxable. This is a recent amendments where around 7 cases given about the items out of the scope of the gift.
thank you

Hai, If the aggegate value of the taxable gifts exceeds Rs. 50,000 then the whole amount is taxable, and not the amount in excess of Rs. 50,000.

In case of immovable property, the stamp duty value is considered for tax purposes.
The new proposal under section 50 C would tax the difference between the stamp duty value and the consideration in the hands of the purchaser.For eg. if the stamp value basis the property value is Rs. 500000/- and the consideration paid by the purchaser is 200000/- the difference is chargeble to tax .
For Movable property, the FMV is considered as against Stamp duty value.
The exclusion includes gift on the occasion of marriage,or will or by inheritance or from specified authorities such as educational or medical institutions etc

hi Friends,
Regarding above discussion i would like to add some facts.....
W.e.f 1.10.2009 any gift received by an individual or HUF , in Cash or in Kind ,shall be taxable in the hands of receipent as income from other sources.
provided such gift exceeds rs.50000 and should not be received from Relative,on the ocassion of marriage ,will etc.
Gift in kind includes Movable and immovable properties.
It shall not attract CG it shall attract Income from other sources u/s 56(2) .
If property is transferred without any consideration or inadequate consideration ,both the cases will attract sec 56.
thanks
