Gift in contemplation of death – What if the donor doesn't die?

By Vijay Kumar

Somebody is in the death bed and wants to make a gift. For that good act, God is pleased with him and allows him a little more stay on Earth. He doesn't die. What happens to the gift and the tax on it? When should one contemplate death? How many days/years before the happening? Since early childhood, we all know that one day we will have to die and so can't we contemplate from that early childhood?
