(Querist) 27 April 2017
This query is : Resolved
I have transferred rs.15 lakhs to my senior
citizen mother's bank account. This money I have got as my retirement benefit like provident fund, gratuity etc. My mother has
no other income.
Now I want to know whether my mother will have to pay tax on it ?
Whether I have to pay tax on the interest amount accrued on the money ?
Please clarify the position.
