1. Yes as per clubbing of income provisions income of minor child subject to deduction of Rs 1500/- per child should be clubbed with the income of parents. 2. it shall be clubbed with the income of that parent whose taxable income is higher before including such clubbed income. 3. If income of minor includes income derived by personal skill then clubbing provisions does not apply.

I AGREE WITH ALL THE POINT EXCEPT POINT NO. 1 BECAUSE THE SOURCE OF INCOME IS NOT OF THE MINOR CHILD, SO DEDUCTION OF 1500 NOT TO BE CLAIMED.

Section 10(32) reads as: in the case of an assessee referred to in sub section (1A) of section 64, any income includible in his total income under that sub section, to the extent such income does not exceed one thousand five hundred rupees in respect of each minor child" the section is self explanatory, it nowhere specifies that deduction of Rs 1500 is available only if source of income belongs to minor child.
