Sir, If shop is owned by my father and rent comes in my account.....

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that if your father owns a shop and the rent is deposited into your account, the income is legally considered your father's. To ensure compliance with Income Tax laws, it's advisable to have the rent deposited directly into your father's account. The conversation also touches upon the legal concept of a 'chief tenant', where a son could potentially sublet the property for a higher rent, paying a portion to the father.

The Income is Your Father's income.

But,

Better to avoid the amount in Your account. Open account Your father's name and deposit it to that.
The father can ask his son to pay half the amount as rent after the son sublets to the actual tenant for a higher amount . Son is called as Chief tenant which is as per law .
