My friend's father is a retired(volunteer) Central Govt. employee.He is having a joint account with his wife.He got his retirement pension in that account and invested whole amount as fixed deposit jointly(names of both primary and joint holder is included) through cheque. In first year the bank deducted TDS against PAN no. of his father and thus he showed whole interest income in his return.
Now for this A.Y he want to show either whole or half part on interest income in his wife return. Is it possible for him to do so. Is there any such provision in Income tax in this regard.

There is no such provision in this regard. . To avoid such practice there are provisions in the Income-Tax Act. Refer Section 60 and Section 64(iv). .
