Dear Shivali , What ever you have filed you would have to prove the same in the court of law . your designation you have mentioned is that of a executive and hence it is presumed that you are a working women .If you are being paid a HRA by your company than you want be entitled for rent or rent accomodation as per section 19 of the act .I dont think so under section 20 .....Maintanence you would get any relief with the DV act as you are working . Maybe provided you have children than you may get some maintanence for the children.

Nobody can compel u to work. But law does not allow highly qualified + previously working wives to get maint if they prefer to sit idle waiting for money to pour in.
Leave aside law, why u have incapacitated urself not to earn ur livlihood?
