Wife's pan number while clubbing income

Hello Members,

While clubbing my wifes income (interest she received on an FD that I deposited in her name) with mine, I noticed that there is no provision to enter her PAN number while filing my return (Not seen in ITR-1(SAHAJ), its just shown as "Other income"). But while depositing this FD in her name, we had submitted her PAN number to the bank.

So, I can see a disconnect here. The FD in bank carries her PAN number, whereas my return does not have it. Now, how the IT guys are going to know whether we have filed return on this specific FD?

Thanks
