flag The CIC ordered the Income Tax Department to share basic income details of husbands in maintenance cases, balancing transparency with privacy.

flag The Central Information Commission ruled that the Income Tax Department must provide a wife with generic income details—such as gross or taxable income—of her husband for maintenance proceedings, stating such information cannot be denied on privacy grounds in matrimonial disputes. flag The decision follows a woman’s RTI appeal alleging her husband was hiding income to avoid payments. flag The CIC directed the department to verify marital status and ongoing cases before releasing non-sensitive, verified figures, while affirming that full tax returns and third-party personal data must remain confidential. flag The ruling emphasizes transparency in maintenance claims but maintains protections for sensitive financial information, including bank account balances and locker details, under fiduciary relationships.
