Dear Sir,

My wife filled false matrimonial cases against me and my family. In 125 maintenance case District Family court ordered for interim maintenance payment , which i am paying to my wife on regular basis from last year. I am going to file my ITR (Income tax Return) , there in which category (in Income Tax Return Form) i can show this interim maintenance payment which i am giving to my wife. Provide me any income tax section or rule number if any have . Please help me in this regard.

Regards
Nitin

Payment of maintenance charges to wife is like incurring any other expenses for your personal maintenance/needs such as food/travel and school fee paid for your children etc. It is not a deductible expenditure or any rebate is allowed and hence need not or cannot be shown in the IT return.
