Compensation

Whether the compensation received by wife from husband through court is taxable under Income tax act? Amount granted is 19 lakhs.

 the lump sum payment received was held to be a capital receipt and, hence, not taxable for the former spouse. This decision was in the context of cash payments and does not deal with assets transferred as a part of the separation.

For the spouse paying the alimony, there is no provision under the tax laws enabling him to claim a deduction towards such payment from his income.
