Gift Tax in India

India does not currently have a separate Gift Tax regime. However, certain gifts may be taxable under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

The tax treatment of a gift depends on factors such as.

  • Value of the gift
  • Nature of the gift
  • Whether the gift is received in cash or kind
  • Relationship between donor and recipient
  • Date of receipt
  • Whether the gift qualifies for a specific exemption
  • Applicable income tax provisions

KPD & Associates provides Gift Tax Advisory in Mumbai, assisting individuals, HNIs, families and businesses in understanding the tax implications of gifts and complying with applicable income tax requirements.

Tax on Gifts from Non-Relatives

Under the applicable income tax provisions, certain gifts received from non-relatives may be taxable under the head Income from Other Sources, subject to the prescribed conditions and thresholds.

Depending on the nature and value of the gift, taxation may apply to.

  • Cash gifts
  • Immovable property
  • Shares and securities
  • Jewellery
  • Other specified movable properties

The exact tax treatment depends on the facts of the transaction and applicable provisions.

Gifts from Relatives

Certain gifts received from specified relatives are generally covered by exemptions under the Income-tax Act, subject to the applicable conditions.

The definition of "relative" for income tax purposes is specific and should not be assumed to cover every family relationship.

KPD & Associates assists clients in determining whether a proposed gift falls within the applicable gift tax exemption for relatives.

Cash gifts may have tax implications depending on.
