It is sufficient if your employer issues a salary certificate. Fixation of alimony amount differs from court to court and from circumstances to circumstances. Normally courts would award one third of the take home salary as alimony.

Sir it not sufficient to produce salary certificate. He should produce the authority, who issued the certificate to prove the genuineness of certificate. Issuing authority should depose in court, that there is his signature on the certificate in addition to other statement on oath before the court.

When I mean a salary certificate it implies and need not be explained that the certificate shall be on the letter head, the signatory shall mention his designation in the organisation and is supposed to be genuine. Onus of proving that it is not a bonafide certificate lies on the opposite party.
