Clubbing of Income FD Intt

One of my clients is having Bank FD in joint name with his wife as 2nd Holder.


Later,he gifted the FD to his wife and at the time of renewal of FD, his wife's name has been included as First Holder by Bank and hence TDS has been deducted in his wife's name.


26AS of wife confirms FD Intt Income from Bank.


As far I am aware, clubbing provisions  will apply here and the interest income will be included in the Husband's Income. 


But my concern is how to show the interest income in wife's return as TDS has been deducted in her name by Bank and the same needs to be shown in itr to avoid any mismatch.


Request to please guide.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common query regarding the clubbing of Fixed Deposit (FD) interest income earned on a jointly held account, later gifted to the wife. Although the bank deducted TDS in the wife's name, the interest income should be clubbed and declared in the husband's tax return due to clubbing provisions. The main challenge is accurately reflecting this in the wife's return to avoid a mismatch with her Form 26AS, especially when she may have other income sources.

You have to show it in husband's name. There is option to fill TDS details deducted in name of some one else.
TDS can be transferred to others.Ref section 5A or rule 37BA(2)

Correct. But question is where in wife's return the interst income will be shown as same is clubbed n shown by husband in his return

The entire income will be clubbed with husband's income.

Right. But wife's 26as will show her interest income. And she may have other source. How n where to reflect this clubbed interest income

In both return details to be shown in TDS schedule.

DM me for more information.

Thanks Mam. But income from other source in wife return has to be shown clubbed income plus her own income. And in husband income it has to be shown as spouse income. Wont the income will be subject to double taxation?
