Don't settle for 25k. His 2L income outweighs his 25L debt. Demand 25-30% of his salary (50k+). Focus on the child's right to his lifestyle. In NCR, 14k after rent is unsustainable. Tell the mediator you'll let the Judge decide unless he provides bank statements. Stay firm!

you said your husband earning around two lakhs but did you have any proof for that or he submitted any salary slip about this. if you right then court surely provide you 50k per month but if you haven't any proof about earning then court provide you on ground of income affidavit.

In DV/maintenance matters, actual earning capacity and lifestyle of the husband are considered, not merely what he claims on paper. If he is earning around ₹2 lakhs per month, he cannot avoid his legal responsibility by showing loans or temporary financial difficulty. Loans are secondary to the duty to maintain wife and child. Your own income does not disentitle you from maintenance, especially when you are living in NCR with high rent and child-related expenses. Maintenance is decided keeping in mind: Standard of living during marriage Actual income and assets of husband Needs of wife and child Education expenses of the child ₹25,000 per month appears prima facie inadequate considering rent, cost of living, and child expenses. Practical steps you should take: Ask him to disclose full income, bank statements, ITRs, loan documents. Do not rely only on oral assurances—any settlement must be in writing and through court. If mediation fails, you can seek interim maintenance under DV Act / Section 125 CrPC where courts usually award realistic amounts. Child’s education, medical and daily expenses should be separately and clearly provided, not vaguely promised. Mediation is for mutual settlement, not pressure. You are well within your rights to reject an unfair offer and let the court decide a just amount
