Interim maintenance with heavy loan liabilities & false allegations
28-Jan-2026 (In Divorce Law)
Marriage was solemnized on 21.04.2024. Since marriage, spouse frequently stayed at parental home with family interference. During pregnancy, medical care and medicines were provided and a joint bank account was opened with deposits. On 05.11.2025, police visited on Dial-112 and found no violence, FIR or MLC. Later exaggerated complaints and ₹55,000 maintenance were claimed despite multiple EMIs. Actual disposable income is around ₹30,000. What is the realistic interim maintenance?
Income affidavit with bank statements, salary slips, and EMI proof.
Dial-112 report to show absence of cruelty.
Objection under Section 125 CrPC / Section 24 HMA (as applicable) against the inflated claim of ₹55,000

on the above mentioned query please note down that the interim maintenance is around 10% of the claimed maintenance.
as per your issue in writing, when the cases like maintenance filed before the court, the applicant have to file compulsorily an affidavit (rajnesh vs neha) in which every details have to be filled like income, liability, expenditure, ITR etc. and after thorough inspection, the presiding officer orders for notice to the opposite party. and when opposite party appears then he files the same affidavit.
thereafter when the arguments completed then they passed order for interim maintenance

Interim maintenance is based on actual earning capacity, not just the amount claimed by the spouse.
If your disposable income is around ₹30,000 per month, courts generally do not award an amount that makes it impossible for you to survive. A demand of ₹55,000 is unrealistic unless your real income is much higher than shown.
As a broad trend, courts often consider 25%–33% of the husband’s net monthly income for spousal maintenance, after looking at liabilities like EMIs and dependents. That would put a possible interim range around ₹7,000 to ₹12,000 per month for the wife, depending on facts.
If there is a child, the amount may increase to cover child expenses separately.
Important factors court will consider:
• Proof of your income (salary slips, bank statements, ITR)
• EMI obligations (loan statements)
• Wife’s qualifications and earning capacity
• Standard of living during marriage
File a detailed income affidavit with documents. If you show genuine EMIs and limited net income, court usually grants a reasonable, not excessive interim amount.

Under the guidelines of Rajnesh v. Neha (2021), we will challenge the demand of ₹55,000 as legally unreasonable and will attempt to limit the maintenance amount to ₹7,500 to ₹10,000 based on your income of ₹30,000. By submitting your financial affidavit, Dial-112 report, and expense records, we will prove your true financial situation and refute the false allegations.
