If the gift of immovable property is coming within the term of 'relative' no tax is payable. However the gift deed is to be registered as per the State laws. There is no tax liability on the part of the donor. If the donee is not coming within the term 'relative' he is liable to pay tax exceeding the amount ₹ 50,000/-.

AI Summary

Gift between relatives tax exemption: no donor tax; non-relatives may face tax on high-value immovable gifts. Gifts of immovable property from a father to a son are exempt from gift tax if the donee qualifies as a relative; the gift deed must be registered under State law. There is no donor tax liability. If the recipient is not a relative, the donee may be liable to tax where the gift's value exceeds the applicable exemption threshold.
