2.. agreement is compulsory with respect to stamp duty act...income tax can do without the agreement

3. it may land your parents in problem with regards to their service rules as this may be considered as sub-letting which is generally not permitted

4. if parents dont show such income, then it is concealing income and income tax penalties can be levied..
