Sir,
My father-in-law would like to give me ₹ 20 lack IN CASH as gift. I am an income tax payee. Since, he comes under “Relatives”, it is a tax fee income to me. Please clarify following.
1. Should I require to show the amount in my ITR OR Alternatively, can I make a Gift Deed in plain paper both signed (for source) ?
In ITR, it is not possible to show under head “Income from other sources”, and also there is no provision under head “Exempted Income”.
2. Should I deposit the cash in a Bank, or can I keep it cash as long as I want.
