@Manish sir,
How is it to be documented or officially gifted?pl explain.If I gift it to my father,then the tax liability will be of whom?
pl explain in detail.
thanks
Obviously it has to be documented . BEcause its your money , not your fathers . the alternative is to officially gift it to your father 🙂

Sir,
Little clarification required.If I transfer funds from my acc to my fathers,is it required to be documented?Currently its a single acc.
Generaly Senior Citizens get additional .25% or .5 % on interest rates,
They may have to provide age proof for the same.
To do this you can open a join FD account , with ur father as a First acc. holder and you can give cheque from ur saving account. The interest earned will be considered as your fathers.
