'Linear descendant to an individual' is a person who is a child, grand-child, great-grandchild to such individual.
Then what's the difference between ''Linear descendant of the individual' and 'Linear descendant of the spouse of such individual'?
Kindly read Section 56(2)(vi), explanation to clause, "Relative", serial no. vi, which follows as below:
"any lineal ascendant or lineal descendant of the spouse of the individual"
Kindly clarify.
Thanks
Although monogamy is norm, it is not absolutely universal. Think about it, you have the answer.
Please read the Section again and you will get it. For your reference relative means
But yes defination of relative is a joke.
Take the instance of Miss A whose mother's brother is Mr. Y. Yes, Y is a relative of A(Mother's brother) but A is not a relative of Y (sister's daughter). I thought that is A is a relative of Y. the Y is also a relative of A.
It is quite possible for the spouse to have children from a different spouse to whom he/she was married and subsequently got divorced or widowed before getting married to the present spouse. Viewed from this angle, the section makes sense.
