My wife has no other income. Is I am liable to pay tax on wife's fd interest income ?

05 May 2014 Yes she will file nil return in that case since she has no taxable income

05 May 2014 if amount of FDR is your. then you have to club this FDR amount in your income tax return.

05 May 2014 If I transfer some amount to wife's account and from that she make fd and earn interest is taxable for me or to heronly ?

05 May 2014 r/sir
money ownership is consider by income tax deptt.

if you give gift money to his wife then intt amount is also include in your income.


05 May 2014 one way to avoid clubbing in this case, is to transfer the said amounts to a separate account in her name as a loan. in such case, she will be required to file the return provided income earned exceeds exempted limit.
