I have my friend who is a US citizen & he would like send some money to my normal savings account to India!! It is around $100-150K!! He has paid proper taxes on the income that he has!!! What kind of Taxes I am liable to pay as an Indian citizen & what are the restrictions that can come across!!!
Dear sir,
This amount will be treated as gift and will be added in your income as income from other sources.
Gifts recived from non relatives is taxable in the hands of receiver, if the total amount of gift exceeds INR 50,000.
Further, there could be some FEMA implications which my FEMA colleagues can tell you.
Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts
Thanks and Regards

So I can recieve Tax free Gift on occasion of my marriage from a Non US citizen??Do I just need a marriage certificate for that & what is the time window for it!!I mean Should the legal marriage take place before the fund transfer or after the fund transfer & how many days I have to get married legally!!
Dear Sir,
Yes, you can receive tax free gift from a US citizen subject to FEMA compliances. There is not time window mentioned in the act. It is recommended that you prepare proper gift deed and mention in the gift deed that this gift is on the occasion of marriage. The date of gift deed should be near to actual marriage date.
You can keep wedding card and marriage certificate as a proof of marriage .
Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts

We think your question is already answered by other professionals.
Rohit, I am not sure how signing part will take place.
You can very well receive the money from your friend . Please ensure that this money is not on account of any business transaction . Further there will be no tax in India .
This amount will be treated as gift as per section 56(2)(vii) any sum of money, without consideration, the aggregate value of which exceeds fifty thousand rupees, the whole of the aggregate value of such sum shall be taxable u/h income from other sources.
The person giving the gift needs to prepare the gift deed and it will be signed by both the parties.
