It will be taxable as Maternal uncle is not covered under the definition of RELATIVE as per section 2(41) of income tax act 1961

The said transaction will be taxable in the hands of the recipient, as bhanja/bhanji (Son/daughter of sister) are not covered under the purview of relatives u/s 56(2) of the I.T. Act
