Hi, I have a rented property transferred in my mothers name with NOC given from me after my father passed away. My mother is living with me and the rent goes in our join savings account. I am jobless since covid with not much income except from this rental property. Can I show 50% rent in my name for IT purpose as we receive rent in joint account. Her income is going above taxable limit and has to pay tax above 1lac PA whereas I have less than 1 lac income PA. Kindly let me know what to do since I want to save tax in my mothers account. Thanks & Regards,

Ans: It appears that for income tax purposes, you are not owner of property and property is registered in the name of mother. Accordingly, as per income tax provisions, it is entirely taxable in the hands of mother.

I have purchased a flat worth Rs 70 lacs and registered it in my son's name The full amount has been paid from my savings . My son was an NRI at the time of registration and doesn't have income source in India , except maybe Rs 2 lacs in his savings account. I recently came to know that we have to inform , if we purchase any property above Rs 30 Lacs . Will the above transaction cause any Income Tax issues for my son ? I don't not own any other property I have furnished the flat and stay in it whenever I come to Coimbatore I stay in a different apartment in Madurai I don't not plan to rent it out. My reason for buying a property in his name is I am 70 years old and I want to create an asset for him in the future. Is there any submission He or I have to make to I T Dept stating that I have gifted the amount. I am an assessee and file I T Return regularly. My son used to file when he was employed in India . Last 2 years , he is a NRi and doesn't file since he doesn't have any Income . Should I just prepare a Letter for records ,stating I have purchased a Flat in my son's name as A Gift and give details of amount paid by me from my Bank account to the Flat promoter.
Ans: Reporting will be done by the property registrar and not by buyer/seller.

If father give gift to son of substantial amount, it is advisable to execute the gift deed.

As son don't have any income source in India, department may ask source of money and which can be explained by you with proper documentation.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
