Clubbing of income

I have some taxable bonds/NCDs in my demat account. I am in 30% bracket.

To save taxes, can I open a demat account in my minor child's name and gift some of the NCDs to her demat account.

Will this come under "clubbing of income"?

In the future, can my child gift the principal back to me and keep the interest portion of it.
