If a husband gives Rs25,000 to his wife who make a deposit of the said money with a bank. The FD is made in the name of the wife. Now in whose hand the interest earned on the FD will be taxable? Whether the provisions of clubbing of income will be applicable here?
Where the assets transferred directly or indirectly, by an assessee to his spouse are invested by spouse in the business, then proportionate income arising from such investing activity is to be clubbed in the income of the transferor.

as such yes. however, if you can establish that the wife has made the deposit out of the money given to her to defray the household, clubbing can be avoided.
