Yes, under Section 54 there is requirement of purchases, or you can say the amount has to be appropriated towards the purchase of new house.
Gift to wife is exempt U/s 56. Hence it can be not treated as income from other sources.
If the new house is being self occupied for own residence nothing can be added to Income.

I guess purchase of the new house even if in the name of the wife will be allowed. Sec 54/54F specify that the assesse has to purchase a residential property.. but it is not specified that the property has to be purchased in the name of the assessee only. In my view it can be purchsed in the name of any person and it will suffice the requirement. There have been cases where this has been disallowed by the AO but the assessee will also have a case to present as per interpretation of the provisions
