Quick Summary
There is no limit on the amount you can gift to your spouse without immediate tax liability for either party. However, any income generated from the gifted amount will be 'clubbed' and added to the donor spouse's income for tax purposes. This means the donor spouse will be liable for income tax on the earnings from the gift, potentially increasing their overall tax bill.

So if husband income will be clubbed, for e.g. Husband income X amount + Wife's income gained amount Y on gifted funds = XY, so husband's tax liability will be increased right???

As per the provision of the income Tax , gift to spouse is exempt from tax irrespective of any amount as spouse falls in definition of relative But clubbing provisions will be attracted and income from that gift shall be clubbed in total income of donor.
