Since the children are minor, clubbing provisions are applicable. As per explanation to Section 64(1A) of the Income Tax Act, if the marriage of the child's parents subsists, the FD Interest income will be included in the income of that parent whose total income (excluding the FD interest of the minor) is greater.
If the marriage of the child's parents does not subsist, then the FD interest income will be included in the income of that parent who maintains the minor child in the previous year.
and once it is included in the total income of either parent, for further years also the FD interest will be included in the income of that parent only.
