Pin Money means "A reasonable allowance given to the wife by her husband for her dress and usual household expenses"
Pin Money is not Taxable.
u/s 64(1) (iv) of the Income Tax Act-1961, any income arising from assets transferred to spouse without adequate consideration is taxable in the hands of the transferor and not in the hands of transferee. However, if asset is acquired by the spouse out of pin money (i.e., a reasonable allowance given to the wife by her husband for her dress and usual household expenses) then the income from such assets cannot be clubbed with the income of her husband.
