My father , a retired Govt employee owned a commercial property ready for renting out.

What could be the advisable means to save the Tax ( for eg expeceting a a rent of 1lakh per month).

Is it possible to split up the income to his wife and two sons , but the building is in the name of my Father. Or there are any other means .

The splitting up of rented income is possible legally? ( investment done by both the sons)

Service tax will also apply since the annual rent is over 10 lacs. You can avail 30% deduction. And the person who will pay rent will have to deduct TDS at 10% from rental invoice.
