Hi !
In advance thanks for your support.
My mother got some lump-sum amount as her part of GPF. And she "gifted" a part of her GPF amount to my brother who is working in Defence.
My query is that gifted amount taxable?
Please clarify regarding the above.

Dear Mr. Baranidharan,
Gift received from close relatives like mother, father, brother, sister etc., are not subject to income tax.
