OTHER INCOME ONLY INTREST--

A user received Rs. 60 lakhs from their wife via RTGS, deposited it into a time deposit, and earned Rs. 23,300 in interest during FY 2022-23. They filed ITR-1 but are concerned about the deposit appearing on their AIS and whether they need to pay tax on the interest. The advice given is that this interest income should be clubbed with the spouse's income and therefore is not taxable for the user.
