03 July 2011 Minor Income is clubbed with income of his/her parent's income. So though the income of minor is taxable, he is not required to file his return for his own income.

If the minor is having any income due to his own talent, his income is not clubbed with his parents income. If that income is taxable, he can make income of return in his own name as in income tax act, there is no bar on minor on filing income tax return
