Joint family and individual incomes

I am staying in Orissa. We are hindu family. My father has 3 son (including me) and one daughter. Mother already died.

My father has some lands . Myself and one of my brother are working in private company. I am staying in Mumbai and purchasesd a house there from my salary . My yougest brother is working in the land.

While doing the father's property partition , youngest brother is asking to include my house (in Mumabi) as family income and do the partition.

Can he demand my induvidal salary income as joint family income ?

No not at all, he can't include your self acquired property into partition however if there is any objection regarding self acquisition of property you must be having all the relevant documents to establish the same.

I hope u got the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't understand the objection regarding self acquisition ?

The property is my name.

Can you please tell, is there any recent changes to Hindu Undivided family law which permit to claim individual income as joint income ?
