Gift Tax In India

The Indian Culture has thousands of years of history as well as various traditions attached to it. It is also a birth place of many religions like Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc. Besides, India is a country with diversified culture where each occasion is a reason to celebrate and show love and affection to close family members and friends. Gifts are exchanged on numerous occasions like Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, Christmas, New Year etc. In addition to this, some people also consider Gifting as a status symbol. But little did you know that these gifts are taxable after a certain limit and one needs to pay income tax on gifts received by them. It was introduced with an objective to impose tax on receiving and giving gifts under certain specific circumstances. It is important to know taxation involved with regards to gifts in India in order to avoid any further unplanned tax outflow.

Tax was levied on gifts in the hands of the person who receives it by enacting the Gift Act, 1958. However, it was later abolished in the year 1988. And six years later it was re-introduced under section 56(2) (V) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, for taxing gifts in the hands of the recipient. So, as per the law amended in the year 2017, ‘‘gifts received by any person are taxed in the hands of recipient under the head ‘Income from other sources’ at normal tax rates”.

While the Income Tax Act permits you to receive genuine gifts, there are set of rules regarding “gift tax in India”. A detailed understanding of the rules on this will help you in answering the queries from the tax department, in case your IT return is taken up for scrutiny.

Any exceptions?
Gifts up to Rs 50,000 per annum are exempt from tax in India. In addition, gifts from specific relatives like parents, spouse and siblings are also exempt from tax. Gifts in other cases are taxable. Tax on gifts in India falls under the purview of the Income Tax Act as there is no specific gift tax after the Gift Tax Act, 1958 was repealed in 1998.

Are gifts in cash and kind, both taxable?
Yes, all kinds of gifts including cash, gold, real estate, paintings or any other valuable item are taxable. However if the cash amount or value of the gift in kind is less than Rs 50,000 the same would not be taxable.

New Change in the budget 2019

With the passing of the Finance Bill 2019 in Parliament, some changes have been made in the rule regarding the taxation of gifts given by resident individuals to non-resident Indians (NRIs). 
According to changes made at the time of passing Budget 2019, only money paid by a resident individual to a 'person outside India without any consideration will be considered as taxable in the hands of the receiver'. 


Gift Tax Exemptions
As rules laid by the Government there are certain gifts that do not attract tax as and when received by any person in the form of Gift.
Note: Donee Meaning – A person who receives a gift is known as donee.

CATEGORY OF DONE (RECIPIENT OF GIFT)
CATEGORY OF DONOR
OCCASION COVERED
Individual A gift from relative is not taxable for a donee, but income from such gifts may be taxable in some cases For Instance: deemed owner concept in house property or clubbing provisions etc.

Disclaimer:
There is excessive tax planning in India using gifts which apparently fall under the scrutiny of the tax department, especially if it’s in huge quantity. Therefore, it is important to maintain documents to establish the genuineness of gift received.

Section-80CCF and Section 80CCG


Section 80CCF of the Income Tax Act is a special provision introduced for benefiting the investors of certain government-approved bonds schemes. The section was discontinued w.e.f AY 2013-2014. Section 80CCF was formulated in the year 2010 and came in force in 2011 under the income tax act.The deduction is avaliable to Indian resident,Individuals, HUFs and Minors also shall be take the benefit for this deduction. The minimum investment must be Rs 5,000. The is no higher cap limit, however the deduction limits to Rs 20000. The bonds must have a 5 year lock-in period. Sometimes companies offer buyback options wherein the investor can surrender the bonds after 5 years without up giving up his interest income. These bonds are listed on the stock exchange


T
      These bonds are issued by infrastructure companies seeking approval of the government, and they offer a decent rate of interest plus additional tax benefits.Corporations like the Life Insurance Corporation, Integrated Infrastructure Finance Company, Industrial Financial Corporation of India, and non-banking financial institutions which are approved by the government as infrastructure companies.The benefits of Section 80CCF are over and above that of Section 80C.


Investors should remember that Section 80CCF applies only to certain investments.

Let us consider an example for better understanding

Mr Sunil, aged 30, works in a company, has earned a salary of Rs 7.5 lakhs this year. As per the income tax slabs, he is liable to pay tax on the amount exceeding Rs 2.5 lakhs, i.e. on Rs 4 lakhs. In order to reduce his tax liability, he invests Rs 100000 in schemes eligible for the deduction of section 80C. The limit of section 80C is Rs 1.5 lakh

Thus, now his taxable income at Rs 4 lakhs minus Rs 1 lakh = Rs 3 lakhs

Further, he also invests in government approved infrastructure bonds worth Rs 30,000.

Such bonds being eligible for deduction u/s 80CCF reduces his taxable income to Rs 3 lakhs minus Rs 20,000 = Rs 2.8 lakhs as the deduction u/s 80CCF is up to Rs 20,000.


Thus, we can see that Mr sunil has reduced his tax liability considerably.


Section 80CCG

Deduction under section 80CCG has been discontinued starting from 1st April 2017.

The Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme was introduced in Budget 2012. This deduction was over and above the 80C deduction available to individuals



THEREFORE, the conditions under section 80 CCG for claiming deduction would be :–
  The gross total income of the assessee for the relevant assessment year should be less than or equal to ₹ 12 lakhs.
  The assessee should be a new retail investor as per the requirement specified under the notified scheme.
The investment should be in such listed equity shares or listed units of equity-oriented fund specified under the notified scheme.
The minimum lock in period in respect of such investment should be three years from the date of acquisition 

 Tax Benefit
The deduction was 50 % of amount invested in such equity shares or ₹ 25,000, whichever is lower. The maximum Investment permissible for claiming deduction under RGESS is Rs. 50,000. The benefit is in addition to deduction available u/s Sec 80C


Mr A, new retail investor, have made the following investment in equity share/units of equity oriented fund of Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme for the Previous year 2012-13,2014-15 and 2015-16 as below :

₹ 22,500
Note :-  Since the deduction under section 80 CCG was not allowed during the P.Y 2015-16 on account of the Gross Total Income exceeding ₹ 12 lakhs, no amount relating to that year can be subject to tax in the P.Y.2012-15, being the year of violation of condition, even though the units were sold within 3 years. However a deduction of ₹ 22,500 (50 % of ₹45,000) was allowed under section 80 CCG in respect of investment of ₹15,000 in units of equity oriented fund in the P.Y,2013-14. Since such units have been sold in the P.Y. 2014 -15, the condition under section 80 CCG has been violated and ₹ 22,500 would be subject to tax in the P.Y.2014-15.
