Income tax applicable to the gifted properties According to the Income-tax laws, the value of the gifts received by the person during a year is fully exempt, as long as the total value of the gifts received in a year is limited to Rs 50,000. If the value of the gifts exceeds Rs 50,000 then the gifts become taxable without any threshold exemption. The Income Tax laws give special treatment to the gifts exchanged between the relatives. The gift (moveable or immoveable) exchange between two close relatives i.e. mentioned under section 56(2) of the Income tax act is fully exempted from tax bracket without any upper limit. Close relatives include parents, spouse, siblings, siblings of the spouse, lineal ascendants and descendants of the person or their siblings.
