Proof for agricultural income

My wife's grandfather had few acres of agricultural land. After he passed away, my wife's father
continued with the cultivation. By way of inheritance, my wife too has a share in that agricultural land.
My father-in-law is planning to add her as a nominee in the Co-operative society (where the agricultural products
are sold) and ensure that some money is transferred directly to her account from the Co-operative society 
when the agricultural products are sold.
This, she plans to show as agricultural income. Does she need any other proof ?

her name needs to be incorporated in the registered deed of the land. that much is sufficient. and also if there's any agreement between the society and her father then her name also needs to be included

Thanks Giridhar for the reply.

Few years back, my father-in-law got the land registered in his name(my wife's name is not mentioned there explicitly). There is a document - Mutation Register, which shows the transfer. Also, she has a certified family-tree. Given that, I have few queries:

(1)Is my wife not entitled for a share in agricultural income prior to this registration ?

(2)Is my wife not entitled for a share in agricultural income post this registration ?

Pls note that there is no family dispute; it is just for tax compliance

1.not entitled since documents not registered in her name
2.she is entitled after registration

Thanks Giridhar

Wrt - Is my wife not entitled for a share in agricultural income prior to this registration ?

The registration I was referring to here was my father-in-law getting the land registered in his name. Prior to this, the land was in the name of my wife's grandfather. So, prior to the land being registered in my father-in-law's name, I guess my wife has a share in the agricultural income that was generated by virtue of inheritance and it can be given to my wife.  

ideally by laws of inheritance in abcense of a will the rights in the property gets devolved on the immediate successors of the deceased. since your father in law being immediate succesor of his father so he is entitled but daughter needs to get her name registered
