# How to report capital gains for NRI minors?

## Short answer

Capital gains from securities sold by NRI minors must be reported in the parent's tax return, not the child's. This involves two steps: ensuring proper TDS deduction under the child's PAN and clubbing the income with the higher-earning parent's return.

## Understanding TDS deduction - Section 195

Your bank or broker deducts Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act when your NRI minor child sells securities and earns a capital gain. They use your minor child's PAN for this deduction because your child legally owns the securities and receives the income.

## Clubbing your minor child's income - Section 64(1A)

You must add your minor child's capital gains to your income if you are the higher-earning parent. Section 64(1A) requires you to include these gains in your Income Tax Return (ITR) as if you earned them.

## Reporting income and claiming credit

Follow these steps to report the clubbed income and claim credit for the TDS already paid:

## Choose the correct ITR form

You need to file ITR-2 or ITR-3. You cannot use ITR-1 (Sahaj) when reporting capital gains and clubbed income.

ITR-2: Use this form if you have income from salary, house property, capital gains, and other sources.

ITR-3: Use this form if you also have income from a business or profession.

## Add your minor child's income to your total income

Calculate and report the clubbed income in your ITR:

Calculate your net clubbed income by taking your minor child's gross capital gain and deducting the ₹1,500 exemption for minor children (if the income exceeds ₹1,500).

Enter this net amount under the corresponding income head in your ITR (Long-Term Capital Gains or Short-Term Capital Gains).

Fill Schedule SPI (Specified Person's Income) with these mandatory details:

Your minor child's name and PAN Your relationship (Parent/Guardian) The section under which you club the income (Section 64(1A)

Your minor child's name and PAN

Your relationship (Parent/Guardian)

The section under which you club the income (Section 64(1A)

## Claim the TDS credit

Claim credit for the TDS deducted under your minor child's PAN:

Check your minor child's Form 26AS (or AIS/TIS) to verify the exact TDS amount deducted against their PAN.

Include this verified TDS amount in the TDS Schedule of your ITR.

You will receive a refund if the TDS exceeds your total tax liability.
