This discussion clarifies the taxability of income generated from a house property when the property itself isn't transferred to relatives like a major son, daughter-in-law, or another widowed daughter-in-law. According to Section 64, income is taxable in the hands of the transferor unless the asset is legally transferred. As a registered document is required for immovable property, simply assigning income without transferring ownership means the income will be assessed in the hands of the actual owner of record.

For transfer of Immovable property registered document is necessary. It seems that House property is not transferred but want to show income in name of other relatives, which is wrong. Income will be assessed in hand of owner, in whose name the house is on record.
