Tax query regarding amount received from NRI blood relative

[Asked by Guest]

Hi,

My real brother who is an NRI and settled in USA, wishes to send some money to me, which i plan to invest in a friend's business. What are the tax implications that I will have to face? Are there any other implications apart from tax?

Also, when I receive the amount from my brother as a gift, do I need to disclose it to the bank?

Thanks in advance. :)
