We find no merit in the instant alternative plea as well since a gift sum which is not allowable under the relevant specific clause cannot be accepted to be an exempt income u/s.10(2) of the Act. We thus treat instant latter plea to be mainly technical in nature devoid of merit. - ITA No. 1072/Ahd/2016 - - - Dated:- 21-2-2018 - SHRI S. S.

All this led to the impugned addition being made in assessee s hands. 3. The CIT(A) confirms Assessing Officer s action as under: 7.1 As mentioned in the assessment order, the appellant has shown gift of ₹ 1,02,00,000/- from his own HUF i.e. Gyanchand Mulchand Bardia (HUF). The AO stated in the assessment order that HUF cannot give gift to the member of the HUF, therefore, AO assessed the income under the head income from other sources.

There is no such document produced by the appellant. 7.4 Regarding the case laws relied upon by the appellant, the case laws pertain to the period before the amendment brought to the provisions related to gift from member to HUF considered as exempt from tax.

Mr. Shah s latter contention as per assesse s pleadings is that both the lower authorities have not decided his alternative submission to be covered u/s.10(2) of the Act. Learned counsel is fair enough in not pressing for assessee s third substantive ground seeking interest deduction of ₹ 5,819/- claimed u/s. 57(iii) of the Act. 6. Learned Departmental Representative appearing at Revenue s behest strongly supports both the lower authorities findings adding assessee s alleged gift amount of ₹ 1,02,00,000/- received from his HUF. 7.
