Driver Salary Tax Exemption

I am owing a car which is leased by my Employer to me. As part of associated benefits of this leased car, I am eligible to claim the Driver Salary every month.

I wanted to know that can I give this Driver Salary to my wife and let her pay tax on this as she is in lower Income tax Slab as compare to me. 

Please suggest. Thanks for your help.
