Quick Summary

A parent acting as a representative assessee for their minor child's income tax return (ITR) faced rejection from the IT department, despite the minor earning income through cricket match fees. The department cited 'No Income earned by minor' as the reason. 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.
