- I would like to gift around 25 lacs to my father in law as a gift. Is it exempt from tax? What documentation I need to do? I know that simple gift deed is required. Are signatures required on the gift deed? Can it be done as soft copy while both parties are in different countries? Will USD to INR will increase 
Would be thankful if provided needed authetic information addressing above querries.

However, it is important to note that if the gift amount is very large, the tax authorities may scrutinize the transaction and require proof that the gift is genuine and not a way to evade taxes.
