hello experts,
Whether any lump sum amount received by a lady by way of compensation (marriage exp. & Maintenance) after divorce in competent court of law is taxable in the hands of lady ?

Compensation cannot be said to be income of a person and as such, cannot be liable for payment of income tax.
