Clubbing provisions apply only when an ASSET has been transferred.
Also, an individual shall be treated as deemed owner of a house property if he has transferred the house property to his/her spouse without consideration.
In this case, since cash gift has been given by husband to wife and the wife has purchased a house property out of the above gift, the above provisions are not applicable.
Accordingly, capital gain on sale of house property shall be taxable in the hands of teh wife and not the husband.
