Section-10
INCOME EXEMPT FROM TAX
Introduction
Chapter III of the Income-tax Act, 1961 deals
with the Incomes which do not form part of
total income.
This Chapter covers sections 10 to 13A
Introduction
Section 10 contains numerous clauses
subject to amendments, exempting various
kinds of income from inclusion for
purposes of tax. These exemptions have
been inserted from social, economic,
political,
international
and
other
considerations and the contents and scope
of the exemptions change from time to
time.
Introduction
Section 10 : Any income of any persons
falling within any of the clauses of section 10
shall not be included in the total income.
EXEMPTION VS DEDUCTION
Section-10(1)
Agricultural Income
is exempt from tax
if it comes within the definition of
agricultural income as given in
Section 2(1A)
Section 10(2)
Any Sum Received from HUF
Subject to the provisions of 64(2), any sum
received by an individual as a member of a
HUF, where such sum has been paid out of
the income of the family, or, in the case of
any impartible estate, where such sum has
been paid out of the income of the estate
belonging to the family.
Section 10(2A)
Share of Profit from the Partnership Firm
Section 10(10D)
Amount paid on Life Insurance Policies
Section 10(32)
Income of Minor
64(1a)
Any income accruing or arising to a minor child is liable
to be clubbed with father or mother whose total
income is greater before such clubbing.
Income derived by a minor child out of skill and talent
or by way of salary and wages shall not be clubbed.
However, if such income is invested and income is
earned thereon, such income shall be clubbed.
Clubbing ceases to operate when the minor becomes a
major.
There is no clubbing of income in the case of a minor
child who is eligible for deduction u/s. 80U.
Similarly, where a minor child does not have parents,
clubbing of income does not arise. The minor child will
be assessable in his own case. Guardian will be
representative assessee for assessment purposes.
Income of minor child will be included in the total income of that parent whose total income is greater (before
including income of child).
If marriage of parents does not subsist it shall be income of that parent who maintains the child in the previous
year.
Where any such income is once included in the total income of either parent any such income arising in any
succeeding year shall not included in the total income of the other parent unless AO is satisfied that it is necessary
to do so.
