There are no gift tax implications in India for a resident Indian citizen receiving a gift of AUD 200,000 from a blood-related Australian citizen.

If you're sending small amounts of money abroad, our research found that opening up an account with XE Money Transfer would be your best course of action. More specifically, if the amount you're sending is less than $500, XE alone is the cheapest service 75% of the time.
You can gift shares to your children as they are relative to you provided RBI approval is required and regulations & compliances are required to be fulfilled like gift does not exceed 5% of the paid up capital of the company, sectoral cap is not breached, total value cannot exceed 50000USD in one financial year etc. Its better to consult a good CA for such matters
An NRI can transfer funds from UK to India in his NRE account securely and conveniently. NRIs don't have to pay taxes when they transfer money to India. Since they already pay tax on the amount earned in the country where they are working, they are not required to pay further tax on the same money. This is irrespective of whether they keep the money in Indian Rupees or Euros.

Is it necessary to inform the India IT Dept on such remittances.
Last year I had transferred funds from my NRO account in India to my bank in Canada using Form A2, 15CA and 15CB. I am an NRI, and the amount transferred was in excess of 5 lakhs. I read that for amounts less than 5 lakhs, only Form A2 was required. That was also my experience during a prior transfer of less than 5 lakhs when I used A2 only.Yet your website states that Forms 15CA &15CB are only required for transfers of upto Rs 50000 per transfer or Rs 250,000 annually. Have the rules changed in this regard? Thanks Albert
We were visiting India recently. On our 50th wedding anniversary, we received 2 gifts (each less than INR 50000) from close relatives while in India. Am I allowed to deposit cash (Two deposits- each less than INR 50000) in my NRO account? I am a person of Indian origin settled in USA for past 50 years.
However, if an NRI transfers money to someone not related by blood, then there is a tax aspect. Any amount over Rs 50,000 in a year is taxable. Let us say that you are sending Rs 1, 00,000 to a friend in India. This amount will be added to your friend's income. The receiver has to pay a tax on this income.

However, if the money has been sent by someone who is not your close relative, then up to Rs. 50,000 the money is considered as a tax-free gift. If the money received in your account is above Rs. 50,000, then you'd have to add the excess amount to your income and pay income tax.
