Daughter-in-law income

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether rental income from a property owned by a deceased father can be declared in his daughter-in-law's Income Tax Return (ITR) to lower the tax burden for his sons. To achieve this, the property would first need to be legally transferred to the daughter-in-law. This typically involves obtaining a heirship certificate (if no will exists) and then executing a gift deed from the son to his wife.

A house property is in the name of an expired male parent and it is let out.

To reduce the tax liability of his sons, can the rental income from such property be declared in the ITR of one his daughter-in-law?

If yes, what are legal requirements?
