Under the existing provisions of clause (vii) of sub-section (2) of section 56 any sum or property received by an individual or HUF for inadequate consideration or without consideration is deemed as income and is taxed under the head “Income from other sources”. However, in the case of an individual, receipts from relatives are excluded from the purview of this section and are therefore treated as not taxable. The definition of relative as given in this sub-clause is only in relation to an individual and not in relation to a HUF.

Family Trust -(Karnataka High Court) – It is clear from the above said clauses that the intention of the parties while entering into the agreement dt. 1.4.1994 was only to grant license to the respondent and it cannot be said to be a lease deed.

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.
CIT Vs Meera Chatterjee (Delhi High Court)- In the present case, the Assessing Officer has not held that it is possible to compute and calculate the cost of acquisition of the tenancy rights in the hands of the original tenant Ram Krishan Dalmia.

In view of the aforesaid position, we are not required to determine, decide and compute income from capital gains under Section 45.

The issues involved in this appeal are that ld. CIT(A) confirmed the additions in respect of gifts claimed to have been received by the assessee for Rs. 1,00,000/- each from Smt. Sushilaben and Smt.

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.
There is smarter lot of taxpayers who are nowadays trying to beat the May 31 deadline? The lot that’s partly fuelling an unusual spurt in cash deals in recent weeks. Deals to organise a mountain of cash to pay a builder for a home or to keep off a sticky-fingered bureaucrat. For some, these are the last and the easiest routes to transform currency notes stashed inside cupboards into legitimate bank deposits; while for many others, it’s a way to gift a friend without any tax hassles.
