    Question

    Income received by an individual as a gift of ₹60,000

    from a friend residing in India is:
    A Fully taxable under "Income from Other Sources" Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Exempt from tax as it is from a relative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Exempt up to ₹50,000 under a specific provision Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Taxable only if it exceeds ₹1,00,000 in a year Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Always exempt, regardless of amount Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As per the Income Tax Act, gifts are taxable under "Income from Other Sources" if received from a non-relative (friend is not a specified relative) and the aggregate value exceeds ₹50,000 in a year. Since ₹60,000 > ₹50,000 and is from a friend, the entire ₹60,000 is taxable.
