This query is : Resolved
One of my Client A got married with B. The A and B got a male child C. After birth of C, the B has expired. The A has again married D after death of B. Then A and D got female child E. Now the children are adults. The C - brother wants to give a Gift of Rs.3,00,000/- to E - sister. Even though the C is a brother of E, they have different parents, only the father is same but the mother is different. Let me know whether the Gift given by brother-C to his sister-E is exempt u/s 56 2(vi) or is it taxable in the hands of E as GIFT not received from specified relative. Kindly clarify

In order to avoid confusion and soubt, ask C to give the gift to his father A. Then A can give the amount as gift to his daughter E. By this method, exemption u/s 56 2(vi) will be available. To ensure that the father gives the money to E, first the father should be asked to give a cheque to E, then C to should give the cheque to A.

Here mother is same father is different C made gift to E taxable under gift act in the hands of E as other sources of income .He is not comes under accendents and decendents because of father is different.
