Minor income clubbing in case court gave an order

Yes,

Income is to be clubbed.. because as per income tax act, taxability of income arises when the income is earned not when the earned income is used.. in your case income is earned when that person is minor so as per my opinion income is to be clubbed

FOR APPLICABILITY OF CLUBBING PROVISON THERE SHOULD BE "INCOME" AS PER SEC 2 OF INCOME TAX ACT.

From ur descriptttion it does not seems that minor has earned any income and only to keep aside money doesnt amount to income so in my opinion there is no q of applicabilty of clubbing provision.

There is no income as per income tax which is earned by minor...therefore clubbing provisons do not apply at all.???????

Agree with Akanksha Jain...... But as a tax planning tool, it is advisable to invest the same in PPF, because interest on PPF will be exempt.

may be income is earned from the investment (money which is kept aside is invested in the name of minor)

Reading carefully the query raised by deepika the question doesnt talk about incremental income for money kept aside...its asking about the principalsum of money kept aside and dat too due to courts order...q of clubbing of incrmental income does not arise  at present???????

the query is.. 

"keeping some amount aside for sake of minor and the income on that cant be used by parents"

its income earned from the money which is kept aside..

My opinion is in relation to principal sum of amount kept aside (Highlighted in blue) whic wont be clubbed at all as keeping amount aside is no income earned at all as per def of income under sec2 of income tax act.

Dear Tushar

The PPF is a case of such investment in which the income accrues to Minor only(if the account is opened on his name) but the same is clubbed in the hands of parent(earning higher income)

Agree with ur view bt in query is silent on which type of investment is made and wat income is accruedor earned......and PPF amount in capital sense is not clubbed as itscapital in nature and not income as per sec2 of it act.

HI

   INCOME EARNED ON THE MONEY TAKE ASIDE SHOULD BE CLUBED IN THE HANDS OF PARENTS WHO HAS HIGHER INCOME. DONT GET PANIC BECAUSE ABOVE DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU

Thanks actually

A minor has received an amount through court order for his future and can use that amount after attaining the age of 18 years. In the mean time the amount is kept with bank under guardian ship of his mother.

In such case whether the income earned before 18 year of age of minor, will be taxable in the hand of mother who is independent assessee with IT Department.
thats what i actually wanted to know but still confused with vareity of answers

Principal amount kept with bank is taxable in the hands of parents who earned that income.. it is not the income of minor..

If a bank is giving interest on such investment.. it is the income of minor and is clubbed with the income of parents.. (father/mother whose income is high before clubbing)

In my opinion there is no tax ability in the hands of parents,because as per court order even the income arising  from the amount set aside cannot be used by the parents and it has also to be accumulated in minors A/C till he/she attains majority.So there is no income in parents hands to get taxed.
