Hi,
You can get the money from father as a gift.
Gift from relatives are exempt under section 56 of income tax act. So, there would be no tax liability on you.
You just need to show the same as a gift under the head exempt income while filling ITR
However, it is advisable to receive the money through bank channel.
Also, if the amount is huge, prepare the gift deed for the same.
We may assist you in drafting gift deed as well as in filing ITR.
