Income of minors – to increase exemption limits under section 10(32)
Issue/Justification
At present income of minors included in the hands of parents is exempt to the extent of Rs.1,500/- for each minor. The average expenditure to meet cost of a minor’s education/health/living expenses which has gone up considerably in recent years, limit of Rs.1,500/- fixed is woefully inadequate.
Suggestion
It is suggested that this should be raised to at least Rs.10,000/- for each minor child.

No restriction in no:of children at present
Even Rs.10,000/- per Child is VERY LESS in Cities like Mumbai !
So, Rs.20,000/- per Child will be Reasonable ( Total Rs. 40,000/- for Two Children )!
Or else, in Metropolitan Cities, Rs. 20,000/- per Child & Other places, Rs. 10,000/- per Child !
