Amount received by you from your father is not taxable in your hands. If any subsequent investment is made by you out of such received amount that generates income, the same would be taxable in your hands, as you are major. However, I assume your fathers income does not have income earned from capital gains. Assuming further that if your father is having such high income because of any capital gains earned, then he needs to pay such tax accordingly first and then only he can gift the rest of amount in the way he wishes. Further agreed with Neeraj.
