Complying with I-T provisions of clubbing income

..............Taxmen have plugged the loophole by extending clubbing provisions to the son’s wife also. It is provided that any income arising directly or indirectly to son’s wife, as a result of transfer of asset otherwise than for adequate consideration, shall be the income of transferor. It is pertinent to note that, the relationship of husband-wife, father-in-law/mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should subsist both at the time of transfer of asset and at the time of accrual of income. Therefore, if assets are transferred before marriage to the would-be daughter-in-law for inadequate consideration, there shall be no clubbing even after marriage...........
