QUICK LOOK
In excess of Rs. 1,500 earned by a minor, the income is added to the parent with higher income, irrespective of the residential status of either the child or the parent. The clubbing provision is applicable even if the parents are NRI and the minor stays in India or vice-versa.
Non-clubbing of Minor's Income
Clubbing provision is not applicable in the following cases:
Exception: Income up on such incomes are clubbed with parents, like interest received from bank if the money is deposited.
Parent's Income
The minor's income is clubbed with the parent with higher income in the year the minor first earns income. Supposr it is clubbed with the mother's income in the first month, it cannot be clubbed with that of father in the following years, even the income of father exceed that of mother.
Majority of child
At the time the child becomes major, the income earned till the date the child turns 18 is to be clubbed. In case of earning from business of minor, the profits for the year in which she turns 18 whould not be clubbed, since they would accrue the last day of the year.
Computation of Minor's Income
Income earned by a minor is clubbed after allowing for various deductions like gross rent earned from house property is reduced by municipal taxes, a notional deduction of 30 per cent of the annual value and the interest on loans taken to buy the property.
If the income is from other sources, the income is reduced by expenses incurred in earning and then clubbed.
In case of capital gains, the proceeds from the sale of an asset are reduced by the cost of acquisition or the indexed cost of acquisition of asset. The gains are also reduced by the exemption under Sections 54, 54F, 54EC, etc. of IT Act. The balance is clubbed.
If the capital gains arise from the sale of long-term capital assets, the parent of the minor pays the tax at concessional rates as the tax rates on are same on the long-term gains irrespective of whether the child or the parent makes the gain.
The investments in immovable property should be from the minor's resources to enhance her capital in long run. This reduces the family's tax incidence, since the income earned after she turns 18 will be taxed in her hands.
If the immovable property is to be sold during the period the child is minor, it is only after getting the permission from the High Court.
