by Shashank on Apr 20, 2007 02:35 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

1.If a parent gifts a house to his/her son who is a tax payer, will it be exempt from gift tax /
2.My mother's PPF has just matured. She wants to gift it ti her son who is a tax payer. Will this amount be added to the taxable income of her son?

1. If parents give house in a gift it is not subject to tax.
2. After maturity of PPF it is not taxable in the hands of ur mother and if she gift it to her son then it is not taxable whether his income subject to tax or not dont matter.
