The discussion outlines how to add a representative assessee on the Income Tax portal and advises providing a valid reason, emphasizing that skill-based income should be taxed in the hands of the minor.

30 July 2023 I made an online request as a representative assessee of minor through my e-filing portal. I have submitted all the necessary proofs of minor i.e.PAN, Aadhar, Income proof as require by IT.
However, IT department rejected the request mentioning that " No Income earned by minor" though the minor has earned income through his own skill.

Suggest how to get this resolved.
