Deal All,

Please solve my query:

One of my client has transferred Rs. 50 lacs to his wife account and wife has invested in FDR and bank has deducted TDS on the specified rates.

As per clubbing provisions of sec. 60 to 64 of Income Tax Act, interest income of wife will be clubbed in the hands of husband due to transfer of amount without adequate consideration or in connection with an agreement to live apart.

Bank has issued TDS certificate in the name of wife.

My question is that if interest on FDR income is considered Husband's income as per clubbing provisions, what will be the situation of TDS certificate which has been issued in the name of wife? If husband is taking interest income then who is eligible to take credit of TDS ? Husnand or wife

What will be the situation of wife ? If she is claiming credit of TDS on FDR, then should she take the interest income also ?

 

Please reply
