Sir, I want to transfer 10L white money which I saved out of my salary over the past 6 years. I want to transfer money because income from salary and interest on FD when clubbed together resulting in huge tax payment. I want to transfer 10L to my brother so that he can open an FD on his name. My brother is unemployed. Will there be any tax on the Rs.10L if I transfer Money in my brother's account? He is my own brother.. Please advise. Regards, Krishna

Transfer (by way of gift) to brother is not taxable in the hands of the your brother. Interest on FD after transfer would be taxable in the hands of your brother. But if such transfer can be revocable, then interest income is taxable in your hands only.

Madam, I have one more question: My brother don't have a PAN card. Will he be eligible to apply for the card keeping in view of Transfer of 10L to his account so that TDS will be deducted @ 10% on interest earned out of FD? otherwise, the bank may deduct 20% tds. As my brother is unemployed, is he eligible to apply for PAN card? THanks in advance, kittu

No link between unemployment and PAN card. Your brother can apply for PAN card to avail 10% TDS benefit. Further, if there is PAN, then 15G/15H can be submitted to the bank for no deduction of tax provided income does not exceed exemption limit.
