Dear Sir,

Reg: Clubbing provisions of Income Tax.
****

I am a retired Bank employee and a Senior citizen also. Hence I will be earning a higher rate of interest for my Bank Deposits than ordinary public. And I am having pension and other Deposits and other investments and I am regularly filing my Income Tax returns even though income is well below the taxable limit.

Now the interest rates are heading southwards. So in order to have better returns, my son who is an Income Tax Assessee in higher slabs wants to give Rs.5 Lakhs to me as a gift, so that I may be able to invest them at a higher interest bearing deposits. Even after adding this interest my income will be well below the taxable limit.

My question is whether this interest earned from the money received as gift from my son is to be clubbed with his income and taxed according to his slab or clubbed with my income and assessed accordingly.

Expecting your response in any Sunday Edition of the Business line.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
V.ARUNACHALAM.

You don't need to worry sir, neither the gift will be taxable in either hands nor the clubbing provisions will be applied in this case.

The interest income will be assessable as per your slab rates only.
