I wish to transfer a lump sum amount received by virtue of my PF and gratuity on my retirement to my wife. So I wish to know, is the amount transferred from my pf and gratuity to my wife on retirement taxable? If so under which provision? Is it true that the PF and gratuity is not taxable in my hands on retirement? Is it wise to distribute the amount received during retirement among the spouse and son for tax exemptions?

The amount received on account of PF and Gratutity are exempt upto the limits specified u/s 10(10A) and 10(10) respectively.
Gift to your wife and minor child will not be taxable since they fall under the definition of relative u/s 2(41).
However, income earned out of such income will be clubbed in your income and you will have to cough up tax on such income subject to exemption of 1500/- in case of clubbing of income of minor u/s 10(32).
If you want to give the amount to your wife or child, give it as a interest free loan.
