04 February 2013 is minor is eligible to file his incometax return when tds is deducted on his interest income and form 26AS shows the credit in his account.
How the refund will be claimed. By filling minor return or guardian return and who will sign the return?

04 February 2013 Minor is not eligible to file income tax return because minor's income is also taxable in the hands of parents or guardian.

In case if such income of minor arises due to the personal skills of minor i.e the income earned based on the personal skills of minor like painting,drawing,singing,dancing,games etc.... then that income is taxable in the hands of minor then return has to be file in the name of minor but sign on the return should be make by guardian.
