18 April 2012 although minor is incompetent to enter into a contract, the parents can enter into such a contract for the benefit of the minor, that means minor cannot buy the property, but in his name his guardians can purchase the property in the name of minor.

And for clubbing of income
All income which arises to the minor shall be clubbed in the income of his parents.
Income will be included in the income of that parent whose total income is greater.
This case has two exceptions
(1) Income of minor child suffering from specified disability .
(2) Income of minor child on account of manual work or involving application of his skill/talent etc.

Since House property Income doesn’t fall under any of the exceptions such income will be clubbed in the income of that parent whose total income is greater.
