05 September 2012 If a minor earns any income from his talent, skills, or manual work done by him, then such income will not be clubbed anywhere. Rather the minor should file his own return of income. Such return should be filled by the guardian on behalf of such minor.

05 September 2012 Agree with Pankaj Gupta.

This wont be clubbed in the hands of the parent because the minor earned the income out of his own work.

I'd, however, suggest that the minor files the return only if there is any Tax refunds due to him. If there are not any refund, he need not file his return as the total income is less than the taxable limit
