Income Tax of my Mother


  • Contents

My mother and my maternal grandfather (Nana Ji) had few joint accounts and Fix deposits(FD) in past. But after his death on 15th July 2015, all the money and FDs (around 19.85 lakhs) got reassigned to my mother. Moreover, in his bequest (vasiyat) he gave his patrimonial house and all money/ property etc to my mother as she was only who is taking care of him from last 30 years.

1: As my mother is full time home maker and is not paying any income tax from last 30 years, is she entitle to pay IT on this money/property ( i.e 19.85 lakhs and house)?

2: My wife and mother are planning to purchase house jointly in Chandigarh of around 50 lakhs.

In this my wife is contributing by 30 lakhs+my mother is contributing 20 lakhs( my sister is giving this amount of 20 lakhs to my mother from her USA account). Will my mother also has to pay IT on this 20lakhs?

3: Does my mother has to file IT return for FI Year Apr’14- Mar’15 and also for the next year

I understand from the query, that mother will earn interest on the money in the account and on FDs. Therefore she will have to file IT returns provided interest amount goes beyond taxable limit. Further to clarify the amount of ₹ 20 lakhs received by your mother from your sister who is abroad would not attract tax. Also, purchasing house property will not attract any tax. This is my view. I expect other experts to share their opinion.
