Hi Jhon,

Generally In these type of transaction it is advisible to file income tax return of your wife.

However if you want to show In your income tax return for various purpose like showing more income to avail loan etc then you to make some internal arrangements.

In my view, if this is the income from your business then it should be considered in your return. Merely amount is credited in your wife's account is not the reason to consider it in your wife's return. The character of income does not change due to account holder of the bank account.
