Legally, the income earned on FDR may be clubbed in your hand if you do so.
.
In case your wife is not having any income, she can have some money out of savings made by her from the pin money, i.e the amount received by her from you for meeting her personal as well as household expenses.
.
You may withdraw the amount from your bank account accordingly and give her. She can deposit the same in her Savings account.
.
You may gradually withdraw the amount and give her, but not at a single stroke.
