22 April 2015 If u gifted ur wife then its her income n not urs. And Tax is chargeable on income.

But gift from relatives r fully exempted from Tax, hence its not taxable in ur wife's hands too.

The Gift is not taxable, but the Interest received on FD is taxable(TDS will b deducted by Bank).

She can simply show it as Gift received in her Return.
