Dear Sir/Madam,
My daughter and son-in-law recently reached a mediation agreement in the Family Court regarding maintenance, setting a monthly amount of Rs. 25,000. My son-in-law has mentioned he will transfer Rs. 20,000 to my daughter’s account and pay the remaining in cash. As he’s a central government employee, I’m curious about the reason for this arrangement. Is there any limit on cash transfers for such situations? Kindly clarify.

Under Indian law, there’s no specific limit on cash payments for maintenance. However, transferring a significant portion in cash could raise concerns about tax evasion or money laundering. It’s advisable for your daughter to discuss this arrangement with her lawyer and consider requesting a formal agreement specifying the payment method and frequency for transparency and legal protection.
