it is better to show the ALIMONEY so received in ITR.
30 June 2015
Lump sum amount received in settlement is capital receipt and not income. Monthly maintenance is also not income and hence no question of exemption/taxability arises. No need to disclose in ITR.

Going forward, the interest on investments, if any, made out of such ALIMONEY is the income of the person receiving such alimoney. So it is better to disclose the said sum in ITR, even though NOT mandatory. (Your views PLEASE)

Sir .. As it is capital receipt no need to disclose.. Even we don't have any column in itr 2 for that receipt...

Firstly any income to be taxable under income tax act must be an income as per sec 2(24)..here alimony money is not an income only as per income tax act hence not taxable.
further no disclosure is required as its not an exempted income as even for that first it has to be an income and a specific section like under sec 10 must exempt it hence not taxable.
any income earned by investing this capital income is taxable as income from other sources like intrest income earned on it.
