If housewife has rental income less than 2.5 lacs, does she need to file IT return, also how does IT dept trace the husband of housewife for such incomes if not filed in husband's IT return.

This is considering that the tenant would have put PAN no of housewife in his rent declaration. in that case they will not find any IT return against this PAN no.
