Dear Sir, 

As per the Section 4(ii) of wealth Tax Act, the world minor son is used for clubbing provision. So in my opion there is no clubbing if wealth is transferred to Major son. He is the liable to pay wealth tax on the same i.e. major son. 

Provision for your reference:

AI Summary

Clubbing provision: transfers of wealth to a major son are not clubbed to mother; son bears wealth tax liability.
Clubbing provisions apply only where the statute attributes transferred wealth to the transferor; transfers to a major son are not clubbed to the mother under the cited Wealth Tax provision, so an adult son is liable for wealth tax on wealth he receives. A gift deed is an evidentiary formality and does not change substantive non attribution where the recipient is a major son.
