No. Not even from any other head of income. It will be treated as a personal expenditure.

The spouse who receives alimony will have treat that income as "Income from Other sources". (gift from a Non Relative) & will be taxed if the total receipts in a Financial year Exceed Rs. 50,000/-

No one type of expenditure can be claimed as deduction under the head of capital gain. Thus assessee can't claim any type personal exp from his salary. He has to pay tax on salary income.
