We love getting gifts. Gifts might involve a lot of emotion and tradition. But we have to consider practical and mundane things like rules and taxation when it comes to gifts in terms of cash or assets.
NRIs can give and receive gifts in cash or kind (jewelry, antiques, property) to and from relatives and non-relatives in India. Check NRI Gift rules & exemption limits…

Let us look at the tax implications of gifting for NRIs but first check basic definitions which will help you in understanding the rules & other issues.
Definition
The Income Tax Act defines gift as any asset received without consideration like money or money’s worth. It can include cash, movable property, immovable property, jewelry etc.
Relatives and Non-relatives
The treatment of gift tax is different when given to relatives and when given to non-relatives. The following people are considered relatives –
| Father | Child’s Spouse |
| Mother | Grandchildren |
| Stepmother | Grandchild’s spouse |
| Spouse | Siblings |
| Children | Stepsister and Stepbrother |
| Stepchildren | Siblings’ spouse. |
| Grandparents |
All other persons are considered non-relatives.
NRI Gift Rules
- Immovable property can be gifted to an NRI provided the remittance of sales proceeds does not exceed USD 1,000,000 per year.
- NRIs can get gifts from relatives in the form of shares and securities provided the gift does not exceed 5% of paid up capital of the company; the sectoral cap is not breached and the NRI is eligible to hold the securities.
- Gift received from a specified trust, specified fund or as a scholarship from educational institutions is not taxable.
- If the gift is an immovable property outside of India, it is exempt from tax.
- The value of the gift cannot be considered as deduction while calculating income tax.

- When you receive a gift, make sure the necessary documentation is in place.

The information that I shared in the above post is one part of the story – issues can be complex based on your resident status. If we talk about USA – you can gift up to $15,000 in a year. This is not that simple but just an example. So check rules in countries where you are staying.
NRI Gift Deed Format
It’s important to sign gift deeds & keep them safe to avoid issues in the future. Many readers were asking for sample NRI gift deeds that they can copy. So I have added ready to use gift deed format for immovable property & even movable property.
Please share any additional information or experience that you have about a gift to NRI or gift from NRI – that will really help all readers. If you have any questions related to NRI gift tax – feel free to add in the comment section.
The limit to gift to US NRI is 15 K in 2018, every year it is revised.
You need to define who are all relatives.

If a NRI gives Gift to Resident Indian (Relative),it is exempt from tax in hands of both receiver and giver.You are sending money through bank transfers amounts to RS 120000 yearly. Your brother can claim this amount as gift and it is exempt from tax in his hand. Remember this Gift should be backed up by gift deed to claim exemption
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.

As per income tax, puppies are not covered under any kind of property say it may be moveable or immovable. So you can gift it without paying any kind of tax.
I just want to remit some money to my first cousin lives in USA is there any implication on such remittance
Does a person with RNOR status in India have to pay tax on a GIFT received in Indian NRE account paid from NON-RELATIVE abroad?
What is the limit for an NRI to give gifts in cash (cheque, transfer in a/c), movable property, immovable property etc to his blood relative in India as per US tax laws, limit of gifted amount exempted from any tax liability for giver in US.
I have received money from my son who is in foreign country whether I have to fill any form to claim tax exemption
Hi Lakshit,
As far as my understanding is no form is required. If it’s a major amount, gift deed is a preferred option.
