I am planning to give a montly gift to my wife in cash, cheque or through net transfer which she will invest in the equity market. Is it beneficial to me in regards income tax? whether the income from equity is taxable to me or wife? or other way to do this if possible.

 Could I ask somebody to explain me?

Thanks in advance.
