15 September 2014 Hi,

I have a query.

Do we have tax filing on family status.

My wife is not won working. Can I get benefit from here tax saving.

As being husband, I am responsible for bearing all her expense, then why govt. of India do not allow me to take tax benefit of her portion.

Regards,
Anshul

15 September 2014 Are you aware of any steps Finance ministry taking in this area (family status).

Individual tax filing was a valid case when there was only one earning hand in a family. Now, both spouse are earning and they get tax benefit.

In cases where family has only one earning person then this structure of tax puts extra load on head of family as he is spending on family(wife and) but cant take benefit of tax saving for her family.

This mean I am bearing all liability of my wife without any tax benefit.

Govt. is giving no value to house wife however they are also work 24 X 7.

15 September 2014 you already differentiated friend. We are developing country. We dont have the liberty of allowing too many deductions.

There is no plan to give any such deductions. The proposed DTC also doesn't talk about it.
