19 June 2008 Hi Anil..

Yes Sec.64 is attracted in this case as husband is gifting Money which is invested by wife in NSC which generates Interest ,which will be clubbed with income of husband and is taxable...

Hey but no need to worry because annual accretion (interest) on NSC is presumed as reinvested and the husband can claim deduction u/s 80C.
