Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of alimony received in India. A lump sum alimony payment is generally considered a capital receipt and is therefore not taxable. However, monthly alimony payments, especially those linked to a spouse's pension, are treated as recurring receipts and are subject to income tax.

One time lumpsum alimony is CAPITAL reciept, hence not taxable
50 percent share is recurring receipt hence taxable
Thank you very much sir
Provided it is a cash transfer & not TRF.of property
