It is simpler if you invest in your parents' name. If any or both of your parents do not have a high income, while you are in the highest 30% tax slab, you can gift them money to invest in fixed deposits. If a person is above 60, up to `3 lakh earned is tax free in a year. Unlike investments made in the name of a spouse or a minor child, there is no clubbing of income in the case of parents. So, a person above 60 can potentially earn `3 lakh per year without any tax implication. If he invests in tax-saving schemes under Section 80C, the income can be as much as `4.5 lakh a year. In the highest tax bracket, this saves nearly `1.4 lakh in tax in a year.

However, the income of the parent will have to be reported. If it exceeds the basic exemption limit, you will have to pay tax on it. Even so, if the parent does not earn or is in the 5% tax bracket, the tax will be quite low.
