50% sharing of wife ( without an agreement to live apart) has nothing to do here unless the wife claims the same benefit in her individual tax computations.
Second Your proposal can be accepted in a circumstance where the property is registered in both names (Husband and Wife) with 50 % sharing as joint owners........and clubbing provision is not applicable to them on account of their existence of relationship.
