If you are ready to pay the maintenance amount directly, the basis will be whatever proof of salary is available with the court. But, if your salary is attached for maintenance purpose, the current salary you are drawing will be the basis, as the amount will be deducted at source by your employer out of your current salary for remittance as per the set formula.

The amount of maintenance is always open to change as per change of circumstances effecting its amount.
