transferring money to wife or child's bank account wont make any difference to your tax liability. if you don't wish to invest in 80C instruments or under any other chapter VI options, you will have to pay tax on income over and above the exempted limit.

Tax cannot be saved by transferring of amount to wife's or child's account. Sir as you are investing in FD's I would suggest you to go for 5 or 10 year FD's which can be claimed u/s. 80C (upto Rs.1,00,000/-) and will reduce your tax liability.
