about gift tax in india?

Q. Suppose i reciding in india receive a DD of 30,000us $ as a gift from a non-related person from singapore , for reasons of college fees .. how much would the gift tax would be ... and how can i reduce it ?


Answer
The gift received from non relative above Rs 50000 in aggregate is now taxable u/s 56(vi) of the I T Act. Read the following excerpt
(vi) where any sum of money, the aggregate value of which exceeds fifty thousand rupees, is received without consideration, by an individual or a Hindu undivided family, in any previous year from any person or persons on or after the 1st day of April, 2006, the whole of the aggregate value of such sum:

Provided that this clause shall not apply to any sum of money received

(a) from any relative; or

(b) on the occasion of the marriage of the individual; or

(c) under a will or by way of inheritance; or

(d) in contemplation of death of the payer; or

(e) from any local authority as defined in the Explanation to clause (20) of section 10; or

(f) from any fund or foundation or university or other educational institution or hospital or other medical institution or any trust or institution referred to in clause (23C) of section 10; or

(g) from any trust or institution registered under section 12AA


It means that the person who receives gift above Rs 50,000 in aggreagte in a year shall be taxed on the amount of gift..

Since the value of 30000 US $ is more than 50000 and that too from non relative, it is taxable
