03 October 2009 In such case Husband has to maintain a current account of wife in his books of accounts. All the transactions pertaining to the business of his wife should be debited/credited in the account of wife. Similarly in the wife's account such entries should be recorded. There should be no problem in my opinion from the Income Tax Department.
At most AO will try to cover up this transaction u/s. 269SS & 269T. Give the suitable reply no penalty will be levied.
