While furnishing PAN to deductor for income of the minor child that has to be clubbed under Section 64 with parent always furnish the PAN of the parent in whose hands the income is taxed so that TDS is deposited in that PAN Number.
However, whenever you have to furnish PAN for income taxable in minor's hand for his own talent (child artiste, sports professional, game show / crossword participations or any contest in which child has himself taken part), it is better you furnish the child's own PAN Number to get tax credit while filing returns, especially as child artiste or sportsment where TDS will be less than 20%. For game shows and childs participations in contests, it will not make much difference as 30% will be deducted.
