Clubbing of minor's Income to parents income - If this income were to be taxed only after the 2nd respondent attains majority, the financial burden on the 2nd petitioner when she attains the age of majority will be huge. Moreover it would be practically impossible to get the credit of the tax deducted at source, by the bank in the year in which the minor attains majority. Further the financial hardship to the 1st petitioner does not appear to be so great as projected in the writ petition. The tax deducted at source by the 3rd respondent bank as per section 194 A (10%) will be available as credit, (Rule 37BA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962). The benefit of threshold exemption is also available. - HC
