The interest income earned in the name of wife has to be clubbed in the hands of husband as per clubbing provisions of income tax. No need to file return in the name of wife.

Yes. No problem. (This is subject to section 64 for clubbing of income OR section 56 for gift) The assessee has to decide once and for all for the same.
