Me and my wife are salaried person and i transfered 1.5 lakhs from my salary account to wife salary account in FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24. My wife has invested that amount in Zerodha stock delivery trading and earn profit. As profit earned by her is not clubbed with my income, mean to say, profit amount showing in her income tax records not mine so she is paying tax on it since last two FY.

I wanted to know that why amount/gift send by husband to wife is not clubbed ?
