Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether gifting savings to a spouse can help avoid income tax. The consensus is that interest earned on Fixed Deposits made with gifted money will be clubbed with the donor's income and is therefore taxable. However, if the donor is a senior citizen, they may be able to claim a deduction of up to £50,000 on this interest income under Section 80TTB of the Income Tax Act.

You need to show interest income in your ITR as per clubbing rules
