01 September 2014 I have read somewhere that only if the court is involved in the proceedings then only it is exempt. But here only women cell is involved.

01 September 2014 but then whther there is divorce confirmed or not?

Vaibhav (Querist)
01 September 2014 Yes divorce is confirmed it may take 6 months time
And 50% compensation will be received now and rest on signing of the papers

01 September 2014 thenits fully not taxable but suppose if divorce not granted then 1 st installment paid will be taxable

Vaibhav (Querist)
