SC hikes wife`s maintenance, rules EMIs cannot override duty to maintain spouse

Published by Webster

The Supreme Court has enhanced the monthly maintenance payable to a woman from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000, holding that a husband’s financial commitments, such as loan repayments for asset creation, cannot take precedence over his statutory obligation to maintain his spouse.  A bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and AG Masih passed the order while allowing an appeal filed by Deepa Joshi against her estranged husband, Gaurav Joshi, challenging the adequacy of maintenance fixed by courts below. The apex court modified a June 26, 2025, order of the Uttarakhand High Court, which had earlier enhanced the maintenance from Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 per month. In its order, the Justice Karol-led Bench noted that the husband, employed as a Manager with Canara Bank, was drawing a gross monthly income of Rs 1,15,670 and had a regular source of earnings. It also recorded that the wife has no independent source of income and has been living separately shortly after the marriage. “Repayments of loans, particularly where such repayments result in creation or acquisition of assets, partake …

Arjun Mehta, a 42-year-old salaried professional from Mumbai, gifted a residential property to his wife, Kavya Mehta, aged 39, without any monetary consideration. Although Kavya became the legal owner and later sold the property at a profit, the long-term capital gains (LTCG) were not taxed in her hands. Legally, the recipient spouse becomes the owner, but for tax purposes, LTCG is attributed to the original owner. (Representational photo). (Pixabay) Under Section 64(1)(iv) of the Income-tax Act, income arising from assets transferred without adequate consideration to a spouse is clubbed with the transferor’s income. Therefore, despite Kavya executing the sale, the LTCG was taxed in Arjun’s hands. To avoid disputes, Arjun maintained a properly executed gift deed and clear documentation. However, a minor mismatch in dates between the gift deed and property registration led to an initial query from the tax officer before the claim was accepted. Here’s a look at how income from property gifted between spouses is taxed under clubbing provisions, and why clear documentation and compliance are key to avoiding disputes and ensuring …
