Scenario based Income Tax query

I am Male - 32 yrs have deposited 40 lakh over a span of 5 years in a joint account bearing my wife's name as first holder and mine name as second holder . The interest accumulated over the years , TDS has been cut under my Wife's name and her PAN card.

Now I am buying a flat with 40 lakhs in my name . She is transferring the amount to my account and I will buy a house under my name

 

Question in future will I have problem showing the source of income ? or this is a common approach ? What I am doing is it legit or missing something ?

Quick Summary
A user is seeking advice on the income tax implications of purchasing a flat with funds originating from a joint account held with his wife. The funds were deposited over five years, with TDS deducted under his wife's PAN. He's concerned about proving the source of income for the property purchase, especially after his wife transfers the money to his account. The responses suggest that while the transfer is possible, clubbing provisions may apply, meaning the income generated from the gifted funds could be taxable in the donor's hands.

No problem as it can be shown under relative
Dear Rahul,
No it will be under the provisions of Clubbing. There will not be any issue.
You can proceed with the same.
Thanks and Regards,
RA.
As per current situation the income tax department will ask you the source of 40 lacs.if you have received this 40 lakh from the joint account, then from where you have earbed it for depositing in joint accounts.

if you have a valid source of income then it is ok but if you don't have a valid source of income the whole income will be taxable at the rate of 78 %.
Clubbing provision will apply. Inter-transfer to spouse ag gift is possible but income from that gift will be taxable in Donor's name.
