you see if you go through section 24 of Hindu marriage act, both have right to claim maintenance, as you are earning 4 times less, it is you who has to file application for maintenance as now days maintenance means you should be able to maintain in the same standard of living as she is enjoying, further as per the supreme court guidelines but have to file their affidavit of assets and liabilities and court will consider it ,taking into consideration other facts and circumstances, so i advice you to file maintenance case, instead of her asking, her application will be rejected in most probablity.
