21 September 2012 Even if you trf the int to ur daughter, still it will be taxable in ur hands.
It will be exempt in hands of ur daughter as gift from relative.

All the Best.....

21 September 2012 Your matter is primarily concerned with tax planning in respect of the investment of retirement benefits. Attention is invited to section 64 of the Income tax act 1961. The rigours of the section gets attracted when you gift funds to your wife or son's wife or minor child(married or unmarried).It also deals with funds transfered to other persons for the benefit of your spouse or son's wife.
Thus if you gift funds to your daughters (assuming both are not minors) the income there from shall not be clubbed with your income and thus probably you may end up with no tax or a lower tax liability.
You may also consider investing some funds in the tax saving schemes under section 80C etc. You may think of investing in PPF also where the interest is exempt from tax and hence the interest on PPF plus the tax savings may give you some advantages. Anyway consult a tax practitioner.
