all you need is PAN card number of assesses.

2. TDS deduction information: This can be most crucial evidence for showing wife is working. If your wife is working then her employer must be submitting her TDS at income tax or if your wife getting interest on FD or saving account then may be the corresponding bank deducting TDS on interest. In any case TDS submitted to income tax department generate a report. you can access this data from below website. all you need is PAN number of your wife and TAN of her employer or bank.
