Souce of income for house wife/home business

Tax queries 386 views 1 replies

I am IT professional, my wife is house wife doing small business in house like tailoring, selling snacks, sarees etc..but not registered. 

I see for women <2.5lakhs income no tax. My wife wants to invest the money she earned in stock market. 

She has around 10 lakhs now, earned since 5 years (~ 2 lakhs per year, for which we never filed return)

So questions are below

1. I understand <2.5 lakhs income we dont need to file the return. If so, is it legal to invest her 10 lakhs
2. I am planning to invest this 10 lakhs in stock market around 1 year period. If the profit crosses above 2.5 lakhs am thinking of filing her tax. 
   Else will not do any. Is it fine?

Please take practical view. Department will question for such big amount in cash at hand!

Rather file last 2 years' NIL return first (advised to take help of local Tax Consultant).

Also start depositing cash in bank as per books records!
