Let me correct here. He there are 2 issues :
1. Contribution in PPF from Father in the name of son 2) Interest income investment .
Clarifications are here under:
1)) For PPF , If contribution for minor son or daughter coming from father then Father is to claim the exemption and if mother has contributed then Mother will claim exemption in her return.
There is no provision of higher and lower income criteria in IT act for this exemption claim. 2) Interest income of son -investment in PPF -- same way exemption available as mentioned above point no. 1
or
If interest income from PPF invested outside PPF , then that money is taxable under the head of income from other sources for father or mother whosoever contributed.
