He explained that while **cash gifts above ₹2 lakh from one person can attract penalties under Section 269ST of the Income-tax Act**, non-cash high-value gifts must also be documented properly. “Obtaining donor letters for significant non-cash gifts ensures transparency and safeguards the recipient from future tax scrutiny,” he noted.

Aditya further emphasized the importance of understanding **Section 56(2)(x)** of the Act, which uses the expression *“on the occasion of the marriage”*.
