18 April 2014 there is an ambiguity regarding the clubbing of income in the year in which the minor turns major.

the principal that the whole of income should not be clubbed is something similar to treating a person senior citizen even if he/she turned 60 mid year.

however, I don't think this principal applies to clubbing of minor's income. Income earned till date of turning 18 should be clubbed and subsequent should be reflected in the individual's return.
