Gift tax scope expanded to include specified foreign remittances and a new graduated rate schedule now governs taxation. The amendment treats foreign currency or foreign exchange remitted from abroad by a non resident to a resident in India, when made under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, as a taxable gift and adopts the Income tax Act meaning of resident; it raises the monetary threshold in the provision, omits a prior section, and replaces the Schedule with a new graduated rate schedule prescribing tiered base amounts plus percentage charges on excesses.
