FDR in name of Parents by Son

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A son wants to deposit a sum of money into a Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) for his elderly parents who rely on interest income. He is concerned about whether this will attract the 'clubbing of income' clause. The advice suggests that gifting the money to the parents and executing a gift deed on stamp paper can help avoid this issue. Depositing the money in the son's wife's name, even if she has no income, would still attract clubbing provisions.
