If any income received by minor outside India, which is also the income of that country. Whether that income is included in the income of parent in India? If yes, then please confirm that such income is not deemed to accrue or arise in India so why such income so clubbed.?\r\n

Yes, such income may still be clubbed with the income of the parent under Section 64(1A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The clubbing provisions under Section 64(1A) are independent of the source of income. If a minor child earns income (other than income arising from manual work or application of the child's specialized skill, talent, knowledge, or experience), such income is required to be included in the total income of the parent whose total income is higher before such clubbing. The fact that the income is earned and received outside India and is not deemed to accrue or arise in India does not automatically prevent clubbing. If the parent is taxable in India on such income under the residential status provisions, the minor's income may also be clubbed accordingly. Therefore, clubbing is based on the relationship between the parent and the minor child and not merely on the place where the income arises.
