Clubbing of income u/s 60 to 64 of income tax act

Tax planning 5502 views 12 replies

Deal All,

Please solve my query:

One of my client has transferred Rs. 50 lacs to his wife account and wife has invested in FDR and bank has deducted TDS on the specified rates.

As per clubbing provisions of sec. 60 to 64 of Income Tax Act, interest income of wife will be clubbed in the hands of husband due to transfer of amount without adequate consideration or in connection with an agreement to live apart.

Bank has issued TDS certificate in the name of wife.

My question is that if interest on FDR income is considered Husband's income as per clubbing provisions, what will be the situation of TDS certificate which has been issued in the name of wife? If husband is taking interest income then who is eligible to take credit of TDS ? Husnand or wife

What will be the situation of wife ? If she is claiming credit of TDS on FDR, then should she take the interest income also ?

 

Please reply

Its really mismatch between Theory and Practice............No Idea Sir...

yes it wont be clubbed as tds has been issued in name of wife.so income taxable in wife's name

As per Rule 37BA, Clause 2(i), Where under any provisions of the Act, the whole or any part of the income on which tax has been deducted at source is assessable in the hands of a person other than the deductee, credit for the whole or any part of the tax deducted at source, as the case may be, shall be given to the other person and not to the deductee.
Provided that the deductee files a declaration with the deductor and the deductor reports the tax deduction in the name of the other person in the information relating to deduction of tax.
.
Now, in your case the declaration has not been filed and TDS Certificate has already been issued by the bank.
You may approach the bank with the revision request. But, I am not sure that bank will be willing to revise the TDS return, if you file the declaration now.

bank is not going to revise the return.

what should be taken in both the returns 

Agreed with deepak..bank will not revise TDS return now..

U can go ahead with the TDS certificate issued in wife's name & if any intimation arises, corroborate the same with the documents u have..which show the clubbing... 

In spite of clubbing provisions in place the wife will offer the interest income for taxation and claim the TDS thereon. Because technology has not been upgraded to include such softer issues. There should be representation from ICAI to CBDT.

Regards,

clubbing provisions hav to be applied irrespective of the fact that tds is deducted in wife's hand. however while filing wife's return u may take credit of tds. to support this view, i quote section 190 which says that credit of tds will be available to the deductee only. At a downside, u may have to pay tax in huband's return of income and bear the blockage of fund to the extent of tax paid in husband till refund (if any ) is recd in wife. i hope this is helpfull.

let the income clubbed in the hands of the husband and pay tax, file the return for the wife without disclosing the income and claim refund, this is only the solution in present situation.

If husband trfd the amount by account paying cheque to his wife then husband will shows in his return as interest free loan given to his wife and his wife deposited such money in the fixed deposited for earning interest income then clubbing provission will not be applied because interest will loan is not a tranfer and therefore wife will claimed such income in this return and claim refund on such income.

You may need to go bank for revising the TDS return.

Dear Sir,

I have a property in my son's name who is working as a Software Engineer. Myself and my wife who is also employed. Now we want to take a housing loan for Rs. 50 lakh from a bank for construction of new house ( existing old house will be demolished)The loan payment will be shared by myself and my wife in the ratio of 60:40.

 

My question is, 

1. Can me and my wife can claim income tax exemption under section 24b on the above payment.

 

Regards,

 

Hello,

ameresh u can't claim deduction because

A co-owner, who is not a co-borrower, is not entitled to tax benefits. Similarly, a co-borrower, who is not a co-owner, cannot claim benefits.
