Is cash gift by bank deposit or cheque from mother (resident account) to a daughter (NRO account) taxable ?
Hello Karan
As per the Indian Income Tax Act, a gift from a relative is generally exempt from income tax, regardless of the amount. For this purpose, a “relative” is defined to include a parent, child, sibling, and spouse, among others.
Therefore, if your mother gifts you cash by depositing it into your NRO account or by issuing a cheque from her resident account, it should generally be exempt from income tax, as long as your mother is a “relative” as defined under the Income Tax Act.
However, it is important to note that if the gift amount is very large, the tax authorities may scrutinize the transaction and require proof that the gift is genuine and not a way to evade taxes.

Can we transfer money to an NRE account and use that to buy property in India? What are the tax implications in US or India for it .?
Hi Pricks,
Yes, money can be transferred to an NRE (Non-Residential External) account in India and used to purchase property. NRE accounts are specifically designed for Indian citizens living abroad to hold and manage their foreign income in India.
As for the tax implications in the US, money transferred to an NRE account is considered as foreign income and is subject to US taxes. However, if the money is being transferred from a foreign bank account that you already own and the money was already taxed in the foreign country, you can claim a foreign tax credit or exclusion to avoid double taxation.
In India, income earned outside India is not taxable in India. However, if the property is rented out, the rental income earned will be taxable in India. Also, the capital gains on sale of property will be taxable in India if the property is sold within three years of purchase.
It is recommended to consult a tax professional in both the US and India to understand all the tax implications and to ensure that you are in compliance with all the tax laws.
I want to gift around 75 Lacs to my nephew in India. I want to get it vested in 4 years. How to do this?
Hi Sanjiv,
You can gift money to your nephew in India by transferring it to his bank account. However, if you want the money to be vested in 4 years, you have a couple of options:
Trust: You can set up a trust in India, with your nephew as the beneficiary, and transfer the money to the trust. The trust can specify that the money will be vested in your nephew after 4 years. This can be done with the help of a lawyer or a professional trust company.
Will: You can also make a will and specify that the money will be transferred to your nephew after 4 years. However, this option may not be as flexible as a trust, and the will takes effect only after your death.
It’s also important to note that there might be certain legal and tax implications in both India and your country of residence. It’s recommended to consult with a lawyer or a tax professional to ensure that the gift is in compliance with all the laws and regulations, and to understand all the tax implications of gifting the money.
I have my brother residing in UAE. If he sends me money 50000 to 70000 rs. per month to me. Is it liable for taxation?
Hi Parkar,
If your brother residing in UAE sends money to you in India, the money is not taxable in India. As per the Indian Income Tax Act, money received as a gift from a relative is not considered as income and therefore is not taxable. A relative is defined as spouse, brother, sister, brother or sister of the spouse, brother or sister of either of the parents, any lineal ascendant or descendant. However, it’s worth noting that your brother might be subject to taxes in the UAE for sending money out of the country. It’s recommended to check with a tax professional in the UAE to understand the tax implications for your brother.
It’s also important to note that if the money is being sent for a specific purpose such as a business venture or for buying property and the money is being sent regularly, the regularity of such transactions could be seen as a business income and might be taxable.
It is always recommended to keep all the transaction records and communication with your brother to establish the nature of the transaction in case of any future inquiry by tax authorities.

I am an nri and would like to know if i can gift my used vehicle to my mother in india?
Hi Jerry,
As an NRI, you are allowed to gift a used vehicle to your mother in India. However, there are certain procedures that you will need to follow in order to transfer the ownership of the vehicle to your mother.
First, you will need to obtain a “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) from the regional transport office (RTO) where the vehicle is registered. The NOC is a document that certifies that the vehicle is registered in your name and that there are no outstanding dues or loans on the vehicle.
Next, you will need to transfer the ownership of the vehicle to your mother. This can be done by filling out the appropriate forms at the RTO and paying the necessary fees. You may also be required to provide documents such as the NOC, the vehicle’s registration certificate, and proof of identity for both you and your mother.
It is advisable to consult a lawyer or a professional at the RTO to ensure that the transfer of ownership is done correctly.

Option OneWe sell both plots by power of attorney and pay flat tax of 25% on the capital gain. No indexation , just flat tax rate on the difference between selling amount – purchase amount.2. Option TwoGift both plots to my mother who has no other income in India and wo sell the plot, taking advantage of Indexation and paying comparatively less tax.

Hi Jag,
Yes, you can bring the proceedings to the US. It is recommended that you get the payment of the property through proper banking channels. Documenting proof is required for transferring money on sale of property. The first step is to get a certificate from a Chartered Accountant (CA) in India. Once you have the CA certificate along with ‘Form 15CB’, the next step involves taking the signed undertaking along with the CA certificate on Form 15CB, to the bank where you have your NRO account. Your bank will transfer your money abroad. There is a limit of USD1,25,000 per year that includes sale proceeds of up to two immovable properties held by NRIs

Hi, can you tell what is the difference between money sent to NRI daughter or son by India Resident father through banking channel under the category of “maintenance” versus “gift”. Does these two options mean same?
Is there any restriction in the use of that capital by the receiver, or, once transferred, the NRI son or daughter is free to use it for any legally permitted purpose abroad.
Say if money transferred as “maintenance” is used in some investment, like buying a house or investing in stocks or bonds abroad, is there any rule against it? It is to be noted here that once the money is transferred to NRI account abroad, there is no control of resident Indian father, wheather under the option of “maintenance” or under the option of “gift” and therefore, common sense says, that issue is irrelevant from taxation point of view for any party. Please clarify.

In India receiver pays gift tax. Receiving Brother is a relative and any amount of gift from a relative (brother/sister) is NOT taxable to him in India. But there may be taxation to giver in the country of residence. Please check on that. In USA the giver of gift is taxed if the yearly amount of gift exceeds USD 15000/- (Rs.10,50,000/-approx.). But your yearly total gift amount is only Rs.1,20,000/-. So No Tax in USA. Check tax rules if you are residing in any other country.

How are cash transfers by a resident or NRI father to resident son through net banking are treated for tax for giver as well as receiver?
Dear Sanjay,
If I assume son is major – in that case, there are no tax issues in India. But to show that transferred amount was a gift – one can write a simple gift deed.
In case of a minor son – any income from such transfer will be added to father’s income.
Will you please elaborate the procedure for gift deed ? Can you provide an example how to do it, if an Indian citizen simply tranfers fund to NRI relative through Netbanking?
