Sir, If spouse falls in the definition of relative, there will be no tax burden if husband and wife gives gift amount to each other. I had given Rs. 15 lakh to my wife as a gift. She had place this amount in PM Vay Vandna yojna. Who should show the interest income in tax return. If the amount is considered as gift from relative, than as per my belief, my wife has to show income in her return. Also some legal document (gift deed) is necessary to prepare for above gift?

Ans: ​​​​​As per income tax provisions, if husband transfer asset (other than house property) to spouse as gift, then income from such asset will be clubbed with the income of the husband. Thus, you have to show said income amount in Income tax return.

Further, considering quantum of gift, it is advisable to execute gift deed.

I am a retired govt. servant and get pension. Also I get Interest from Deposits, Saving and Acc. Int. I show this income in my Income Tax returns filed in Form ITR-1 SAHAJ. During the current Financial Year I have received the maturity amount of my PPF maintained in the Post Office. Out of the amount received I have a certain amount given as a gift to my spouse. She has invested the said amount received by her from me as a gift in the SCSS A/C and gets interest on that amount. I want to know whether the amount she receives as interest from the amount given by me is to be included in my income and to be shown in the Income Tax Return. If so, at what place i.e. in which column? I have to show the income so included as I do not see such places or column. In which I have to indicate this amount Sr. No. B3 Income from Other Sources along with the Interest received by me from Deposit etc. Since the amount of interest received by my spouse is included in my Income, Whether the said amount is also to be shown in her Income Tax Return or otherwise? As if it is to be shown in her return also then there will be duplication. This clarification is sought as I file my return myself and since the notice I or my wife may not get. I hope you will kindly guide me in this regard and oblige us. Thank you in advance.
Ans: If taxpayer directly or indirectly transfers an asset to spouse for inadequate consideration than Income from such asset is clubbed in the hands of the transferor. Transferor (taxpayer) should show such income in Schedule SPI of Income Tax Return filed by such tax payer in whose hands income is clubbed. No need to show said income in the income tax return of spouse.
