As per my opinion, Such salary isn't taxable in the hands of Wife_because wife is considered as relative & The amount paid by Husband to wife can be considered as gift which shall not attract income tax under the provisions of Income-Tax Act, 1961. However, under clubbing provisions of this Act, any income accrued to her on such amounts (Interest) would be clubbed in Husband's income and he will have to pay tax on that.
