04 August 2023 If the difference in the rent received and paid be substantial without any justification, ITO may add the rent in the hands of the person with higher tax slab liability.

04 August 2023 Not clear Sir, The question was the property is refistered in the name of Wife but the Tax laibiltiy of Husband is less . Need a solution ? Can the wife make husband a tenenat and then allow him to sublet to third party so that Tax liability remains under control
Thanks

04 August 2023 This is what I have stated earlier that AO will not allow such tax manipulation. There can be penalty for such tax diversion.
