This chart-style note on clubbing of income explains when income earned by one person is taxed in the hands of another, such as a minor child, a spouse, or a HUF. It follows a three-step approach: identify the income, check the relationship or exception, and then decide who should be taxed. The first pages also cover the set-off and carry-forward of losses, the deduction from gross total income under Chapter VI-A and the related AMT credit. It suits CA Inter students revising the taxation paper who want a quick, condensed reference.
What the notes cover
The notes list the main clubbing provisions in one place: minor child income under section 64(1A), transfers to spouse or son's wife under section 64(1)(iv) and (vi), house property under section 27, income from salary paid to a spouse under section 64(1)(ii), and HUF transfers under section 64(2). Each rule is paired with its exception, such as the separate taxation of a minor's income from manual work or skill and the pay exception for a spouse's technical qualification. Examples are kept brief, and amounts are written in lakh and crore.
How to use them for revision
Work through the chart by asking three questions for any problem: whose income is it, is there a relationship or transfer that triggers clubbing, and is an exception available. The guardrail points, such as love and affection not being adequate consideration and the handling of second-generation income, are useful for quick answers in exam problems. The same approach applies to the loss set-off pages, where the order of current-year set-off before brought-forward losses is worth memorising.
