I want to gift Rs.10 Lac to my son.As per my understanding,there is no Income tax is to be paid by my son as we are blood related.Today i went to buy a Rs.100 stamp paper to make a gift deed between us.
Stamp Vendor shocked me by telling me that 2% Income Tax needed to be paid to Government & that I should buy stamp papers worth Rs.20,000. i.e 2% of Rs.10 Lac.
Is he right?Kindly help me with your expert advice.
Thanks,
