The government reintroduced it in the year 2004 under the head "Income from other sources". Receiving or sending gifts can be a part of money laundering or tax evasion, so the tax officers keep an eye on such transactions through the details filed under the income from other sources head. It states that any gift received with or without consideration in excess of Rs 50,000 in a financial year will be added recipient income from other sources and taxed accordingly as per income tax slab. Father will not be questioned if he pays income tax on gift of Rs. 1,00,00,000/- as per the Income tax Slab as applicable. Similarly, his brother pays tax on gift of Rs. 1,00,00,000/-
