Taxation on the Monthly alimony payments


27-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I make monthly payments to my spouse for alimony. As per the income tax rules, monthly recurring maintenance payments are taxable at the hands of the receiver. I pay the money using Demand Draft. How do I ensure that the tax compliance happens and my spouse pay taxes as per the law of the land. Do I need to inform the tax authorities.?

If you are paying taxes on maintenance part that is what you need to do at your part, you don’t have to worry about taxes for her part ! The way when we buy something from shop it’s none of our business whether shopkeeper is paying taxes or not ! It’s between department n shopkeeper! Hope u got the point !
