Myself and wife are living seperately for the past three years. I work in a MNS and she is working as a lecturer in a college. We have a son out of wedlock. We wanted me to abondon my parents and that caused some misundersanding between us.
She has filed a complaint some three months back stating and harasement all of a sudden and Now I received that she requested my salary and income from incometax department. They have raised me to raise an objection or to provide the details in three days. How should i be handling this.

Dear ji, if your wife submit the application using RTI, that information (except R 8 (j) of RTI Rules) must be given to her. so consult your own counsel for further guidance.

As per RTI the salary of spouse is a public document and it has to be given without concurrence of the other.

In any case if you have been filling Income tax returns and your wife knows your PAN number, she can always login to your account details and get copies of the IT returns of present as well previous assessment years.
Now this you may call hacking to your IT account but that's going on in many cases.
She can even summon the IT account in the court that by no means can be refused by IT department.

You can at the most raise objection to disclosure. It is upto Income Tax deptt to accept or reject your objection . You have no remedy against this decision.
Or else, your company can be compelled to come to court alongwith salary details (may on repeated visits). This way you get a tarnished reputation in the MNC.

Yes, any spouse can obtain the detail salary of the other spouse as it is not a matter of security of the State etc. But the million dollar question is why asking to furnish the detail salary? Is the Marriage on the Rock?
