It is just remittance of income, which has already been taxable in foreign, where the income was earned and received. Therefore, Parents are not liable to pay any tax thereon. As the ITR does not have any specifice coloumn for this, no need to disclose the same. It is advisable to maintain proper documents showing its source, if dapartment assesses, it may be taken as income of the receipant by him, if proper documents are not produced before him.
