Yes, you should show it under the head exempt income in ITR.
I have received a gift in cash from my grandfather. Should I mention this source in the IT returns.
There is no such requirement of showing it in ITR as any which ways it is an exempt income. So there won't be any harm if you don't show, but it is recommended to show it under exempt income but in future if you use it or invest anywhere you must have the proof of the source of income/investment.
Also it is suggested to keep a gift deed ready mentioning all the details, it will also help as such amount is in cash and your grandfather should have such capital to give you gift.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement
