From NRI bank account , he again transferred to his wife SAVING ACCOUNT. Mr. X’s wife is deposited all the amount in FD and earned interest on FD.No TDS deducted on interest because she submitted form 15 H To BANK. My request for our Experts is what are all impact with respect to Income Tax Act for both Mr X as well as his wife with respect to above transaction and how to file Income tax return, Thanks in advance for your help. With regards, V.Krishnamoorthy

As far as transfer to NRI account is considered, there is no tax liability. 

However,  clubbing provisions will be attracted here as Mr. X is NRI who has kind of given a gift to his wife. Income from investing the so called gift is liable to be clubbed in Mr. X's income. Now since, he is NRI and he has no other income taxable in India, the interest may fall below taxable limit and be tax free.
