the maintenance amount awarded by cpourt depends upon your income . court takes into account whether you have any dependents . whether your wife is earning or not . decision will be taken by court after consideration of various factors .

Rs 2,000 these days is peanuts . your wife cant maintain herself with such meagre amount

The court while passing order of maintenance shall take into account the minimum costs for survival of a person in today's time which is not less than 4000-5000/-.
