Spouse income in fixed deposits for multiple years

Following is my scenerio:

Every month I transfer money e.g., 30000 to my spouse from my income (Post TDS). After accumalation of 1Lakh, I put a fixed deposit in her name.

In a finacial year (2012-13), the amount I transfer is 3,36,000, will earn intrest of 8000. 

Who will be liable to pay taxes for the amount of 8000?
----------------------

The same pattern continues for next FY (2013-14) also. Now I will have two FD's by the end of FY 2013-14 :

1. (FY 2012-13) 336000 + 8000 -> 24000

2. (FY 2013-14) 336000 -> 8000

who is liable to pay the tax on 24000?

Whatever interest is earned on FD will be clubbed with your income but the interest earned on interest  will be the income of your wife.
