As you are of legal age, you are under the purview of the taxman. The question arises as to how you're going to finance the car. Obviously, you are not going to be eligible for a loan. In which case, the money is either yours through inheritance (for which you should have paid inheritance/estate tax) or through trust (no tax) or through a gift. Gift tax can be charged to the person who 'gifts' you the car/money. However, if you/your family have declared yourself to be a HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) then taxation rules are different. Best to spend INR 500 and get the legal advice from a tax lawyer or the opinion of a Chartered Accountant. As you can afford INR 660,000, this money would be well spent.
