No, you are not violating any Indian law by getting this money.

 

However, you need to pay applicable taxes on the same.

Hello,

 

There is no violation of law by receiving the amount every month. You are required to properly declare the same in your income tax return.

 

I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

- It is a receipt against maintenance which is voluntary and payment of tax on such income can be argued.
