While it is commonly understood that working professionals and businesses need to file ITR, there is often confusion regarding whether minors, individuals who have not yet attained the age of 18 years, are also required to file tax returns.\u00a0 In this article we will address the question- <b>Does a Minor also have to File ITR?<\/b><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid#555;\"><b>Table of contents\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#who\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is a Minor?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#does\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does a Minor also have to File ITR?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#taxation rules\">Taxation Rules for Minor <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children: What is Compulsory to Pay?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#benefits\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of <\/span>Filing ITR as a Minor<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#important\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important things to know before a minor files ITR<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#conclusion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"who\"><b>Who is a Minor?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, a minor is a person below 18 years of age. According to Section 3(1) of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lddashboard.legislative.gov.in\/actsofparliamentfromtheyear\/majority-act-1875\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian Majority Act, 1875<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, every person resident in India attains majority after attaining the age of 18 years and not earlier. Minors are considered to be under the legal guardianship of their parents or appointed guardians until they reach the age of majority. This classification of minors raises questions about their tax liabilities and obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does\"><b>Does a Minor also have to File ITR<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The confusing question arises- <\/span><b>Does a Minor also have to file ITR?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In general, minors are not subject to income tax liabilities for the income earned by them. However, some exceptions and situations may require a <\/span><b>minor to file an income tax return.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clubbing of Income<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The concept of &#8220;clubbing of income&#8221; applies when the income earned by a minor is included in the total income of his\/her parent(s) or guardian(s) for taxation purposes. This occurs when the income generated by the minor is a result of investments made on their behalf, such as interest earned on fixed deposits, dividends, or capital gains. In such cases, the parent or guardian is responsible for including the minor&#8217;s income in their tax return.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exceeding Tax Exemption Limits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If a minor&#8217;s income, such as earnings from employment or any other source, exceeds the basic exemption limit as defined by the Income Tax Act, the minor becomes liable to file an income tax return. The current exemption limit for individuals under the age of 60 is \u20b92.5 lakhs per annum. If the minor&#8217;s income exceeds this threshold, they must file an ITR.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Claiming Tax Refunds<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In some instances, a minor may be eligible for tax refunds. For example, if the minor&#8217;s employer has deducted tax at source on their salary, but their total income is below the taxable limit, they can claim a refund by filing an income tax return.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"taxation rules\"><b>Taxation Rules for Minor Children: What is Compulsory to Pay?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following are the rules <\/span><b>taxation for Minors:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advances in technology have also boosted the learning skills of children.

But with income comes tax liability. There is no age limit for filing an income tax return.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minors below 18 years of age who have income in the form of earned income or unearned income or engage in certain transactions (subject to certain conditions) are liable to pay tax.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"benefits\"><b>Benefits of Filing ITR as a Minor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although minors may not always be obligated to file ITR, there are certain advantages for <\/span><b>filling taxes as a minor doing <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so voluntarily:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Establishing Financial Records<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><b>Filing income tax returns as a minor<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> age helps minors develop a sense of financial responsibility.
