Dear Sir,

In the given case please find below answers :

a) Yes she can trasnfer money to your saving account.

b) There will be no tax liability on the said income and you need to show the same as gift from your wife.

c) No since the income earned by her in dubai shall be tax free there will be no tax implication. Only her account and income earned in dubai need to disclose in return filed in India.

Will be happy to serve any of your other requirement.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Sir,

1. Yes, you wife can transfer the amount to her normal saving account

2. Even if your wife transfer the amount to you, there is not tax liability on you but you have to show this amount in your return of income as a gift from your wife. Further, if you invest this amount anywhere else and earn income from this amount, then that income will be taxable in your wife's hands and not in your hand.

Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts

Thanks and Regards
