  Section 56(2)(x)
An individual settles his property to a private discretionary trust which has beneficiary as his brothers, brothers' wife, brothers' children and their spouses and their children. Since all the persons do not come within the definition of relative as defined in explanation to 56(2)(vii) , it may not be covered by the exception provided by proviso (X) to 56(2)(x). Question is, it being a discretionary trust where the individual shares are not defined, will section 56(2)(x) apply?  If applied then how will one compute taxable part?
