Quick Summary
If income generated from your business is being credited to your wife's bank account, it should generally be declared as your income. The bank account where the money lands doesn't change the source or nature of the income. However, specific tax rules regarding 'clubbing of income' might apply, and professional advice is recommended for accurate tax filing.

As income is from your business it needs to be included in your income computation.
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.

for any further query please write to me at sthayin @ gmail
Follow the provisions of clubbing of income.

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.
