25 December 2021 Being Joint owner of the property, the rental agreement should be between both the owners and tenant. Just one owner cannot declare total rental income in his/her ITR.

25 December 2021 Ok, - Assuming that the rent is also split 50:50, does the wife's portion of rent will be clubbed alongwith the husbands income?

25 December 2021 No. There is no question of clubbing the rent income of husband, provided both have declared 50% rent in respective ITR.

26 December 2021 As far as rental income is declared for assessment in equal shares, the part of rent received by wife (husband's share) will be treated as gift to wife. The gift amount is not clubbed directly, but any income earned over the gifted amount will be clubbed in Husband's hand.
