DECLARATION OF GIFTS RECEIVED
I, __________, of __________, state that on the occasion of __________, held on __________, I received the gifts listed below. They were given freely and nothing was given in return.
I make this declaration for my own and my family's records. It is not a deed of gift, it is not filed with any office, and it does not by itself decide how any gift is treated for tax. Where the law requires a gift to be recorded, valued or reported in a particular way, I will do that separately. The particulars above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
PERSONAL DATA NOTICE
This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Personal data in this document is collected only to keep a record of gifts received for the declarant's own tax and family records, communicate about that purpose, verify the information expressly supplied, and retain an evidentiary record.
The record will be held by __________ and may be shown only to the declarant, the declarant's family members and the declarant's tax adviser or accountant, and to a statutory or tax authority where disclosure is required for the matter recorded here.
If the matter does not go ahead, or this document is withdrawn before it is used, the personal data will be retained for 90 days from that decision and then erased. If it is used, the record will be retained for 12 months after the matter ends and then erased, except for a record that a statute requires to be kept for a longer named period.
Data minimisation: this document deliberately does not require a full Aadhaar number, Aadhaar-card copy, passwords or unrelated identity material. Detailed KYC should remain in the separate KYC workflow; tax or payment identifiers are collected here only where the whole purpose of this document requires them.
