Gift Received by the Assessee on the ocassion of his Daughters Marriage is taxable

January 4, 2012 11256 Views 0 comment Print

Rajinder Mohan Lal Vs. DCIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- impugned gifts cheques were in the name of the assessee and not in the name of the assessee’s daughter, whose marriage was solemnized and the quantum of such gifts were credited by the assessee to his bank account. It is also a fact that the sum of money received by the assessee were not transferred to the bank account of his daughter, whose marriage was solemnized. In view of the above legal and factual discussions and clear findings of the lower authorities, we do not find any infirmity in the order of the CIT(A) and, hence, the same are upheld. This ground of appeal of the assessee is dismissed.

The Gift tax was abolished with effect from October 01,1998. Thereafter, the practice of bogus foreign gifts itself had started with Government offering immunity for such gifts as part of disclosure scheme, but then the practice continues even after the amnesty period had expired. Unaccounted income found its way in many ways as in acquisition of immovable property, new constructions pretended borrowings and unreal gifts.
