The income of your wife shall also be considered while computing the monthly maintenance. Generally 33% of take home salary should be expected to be incurred for the purpose of wife and minor child.

The quantum of maintenance cannot be decided on mere figures of take home salary. The take home salary may be after monthly deductions towards festival and other personal/temporary advances availed by the employee, it may be that the employee has opted for an exorbitant deduction of PF amount in order to avoid paying more maintenance amount, thus there are no fixed parameters on the basis of which a proper opinion can be given. If the opposite lawyer is prudent enough, he may bring the the above observations to the knowledge of court and argue that since these are of temporary nature, they may not be considered as regular/standard deductions while calculating the maintenance amount. Hence make sure that you do not produce the pay slip or pay certificate on your own, if they have to prove let them call for the same from your employer, until then you may watch as a silent spectator on this issue.
