The parents are required to club the income of minor in their own return only if the clubbing provisions apply on the income of minor. Like in case where the minor do not earn the income by putting his own efforts. .. . If in case the clubbing provisions do not apply then the minor should file his own return. Such return should be signed by the guardian of such minor. And ofcourse it is beneficial for the minor in case he file his own return. Because he gets the exemption of maximum exemption limit and the remaining income gets taxed in slab rates.
