Clubbing of income applies when earnings of a spouse or minor child must be added to the taxpayer’s total income under Section 64 . This adjustment prevents tax avoidance through diversion of income and often becomes the basis for tax notices when clubbed income is not disclosed accurately.

Filing it on time helps prevent unnecessary tax demands, interest, or scrutiny. Platforms like TaxBuddy naturally simplify this journey by identifying discrepancies and guidi
