Dear Members I have a tax query. I have invested some funds in bank FD in my wife's name and some funds in my name. And so far, I am  clubbing her  interest in my return as a clubbing of income.

Now last year she got a job & so form 16 from employer.

What to do about her FD interest income?

should i clubbed in my return or in her return?

My query is, will my wife's interest income clubbed to my income? What if i file separate return for my wife and myself, will it still be clubbed? Note that the money invested (FD) is earned by husband and not wife. I appreciate your expert opinion. Regards
