You cannot claim any rebate on the maintenance paid to your wife since it is your duty to maintain your spouse and your family.

Agree with Shri Vishal.

There is no such provision in the income tax act for deduction.

and in the eye of law, maintenance of family is moral duty of every one.

However, on second thoughts. Though it can not be deducted from your income.

Bombay HC in a landmark decision has held that monthly maintenance amount should be included in the income of the wife for conmputation of income tax liability. However, one time alimony remain exempt from this.
