13 September 2020 1. As your son being a major, interest on FD wouldn't be included in your income. 2. The interest on FD would be taxable for your son and tax amount would be as per slab rate. 3. ITR-1 to be filed for your son, however your ITR may change depending if you have any other income and there is no such exception for first time ITR filer.
