Asked 3 years ago in Income Tax

Dear Sir,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

The disclosure of income depends upon the earning pattern. In case it is your regular source of income then it can be considered as a business and shown under income from business or profession. For the easy ITR filing you would be suggested to opt for ITR 4 and show it as a presumptive income.

In case it is a non material or income of irregular nature then you can also disclose the same as income from other sources and file ITR 1 form.

 

In addition, gifts from specific relatives like parents, spouse and siblings are also exempt from tax. You need to show the same under the head exempt income in ITR 1/ITR 4.

 

We may assist you in ITR filing and proper disclosure.

Person need to file ITR if your Income is below Taxable limit i.e. 2.50 Lacs. Gift from Relative is exempt under Income Tax Act u/s 56 (2). Relative definition cover father. You can file ITR and disclose Gift of Rs 15 Lacs as exempt.

Gifts are not covered under section 10. In ITR, under the exempt income, select 'any other' and mention gift from father in description box.

No need to show gift from father under income tax return as it's a gift and not covered anywhere.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Section 10 doesn't cover this and section 56 says it's not income it doesn't say that income is exempt.
