A Will doesn’t need registration — but registration gives it real strength.
It cuts down future disputes, reduces chances of tampering, and offers clarity your family will thank you for.

And remember — if you own property in Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata, your Will may need probate, which can delay things unless everything is drafted cleanly.

My advice?
Create a proper Will, register it, keep a doctor’s fitness certificate, and ensure all assets are listed clearly.
It’s the simplest act of love you can leave behind.

Question:

I am 60, retired, and under financial stress. My nephew sends me ₹60,000 every month to help with my expenses. I have no other income.
Do I have to pay tax on this money? Is this treated as my income?


Answer (

In India, gift tax works on the person receiving the money, not the person giving it.

1️⃣ Gifts up to ₹50,000 a year → Fully tax-free

If all the gifts you receive in a year total ₹50,000 or less, you pay no tax.

2️⃣ But if gifts cross ₹50,000 → The entire amount becomes taxable

If you receive more than ₹50,000 in a year,
👉 the whole amount is treated as your income,
not just the amount above ₹50,000.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who are “relatives” for tax exemption?

Gifts from certain close relatives are always tax-free, no matter the amount.
These include:

Parents

Children

Siblings

Spouse

Uncle/Aunt (both maternal and paternal) giving to nephew/niece


But this exemption is one-way in some cases

If an uncle or aunt gives money to nephew/niece → Tax-free

If a nephew or niece gives money to uncle/aunt → Not tax-free


Because nephew/niece are NOT included in the official definition of “specified relatives”.

📌 So in your case:

You are receiving ₹60,000 per month from your nephew

Total per year = ₹7,20,000

Since nephew is not a specified relative
👉 the entire ₹7,20,000 becomes taxable as your income

💡 Will you actually pay tax?

Under the new tax regime, there is a rebate (Section 87A):

If your total taxable income is ₹12 lakhs or less,
👉 your tax becomes ₹0.

So even though the money is treated as “income”,
you may not have to pay any tax, depending on your slab.

Not every family member is tax-friendly.
Only defined relatives get the exemption privilege.

Tax-free gifts (any amount):
Parents • Spouse • Children • Siblings • Grandparents • In-laws
👉 No limit. No tax. Period.

Big myth people fall for:
*“Cousin is also family”* — Wrong. Fully taxable.
*“Only amount above ₹50,000 is taxed”* — Wrong. Entire amount taxed.

Non-relatives:
👉 If total gifts cross ₹50,000 in a year100% taxable.

Silent tax trap most people miss:
Gift may be tax-free…
⚠️ Income generated from that gift may not be.
(Especially between husband & wife — clubbing applies.)

One boring thing that saves you big trouble:
📄 Gift deed
🏦 Bank trail
