Bare income, paying bank loans, what maintenance should I pay my wife

Hi
It depends on whether your wife has her own independent source of income or earning capacity.
Also if your wife has deserted you , then you need not pay any maintenance
typically in a maintenance case, courts will ask you to pay 25% of your gross income as maintenance.
Bank loans might not be considered if these are personal loans.

Hello Friend,

You have to apprise the court of your wife's ability to survive on herself without any maintenance from you and also about the fact that you are repaying bank loan of Rs.7,000 per month and further your responsibilities towards your dependent parents. If you cannot bring these matters to the court and convince the court with all the evidences you have with you to support your contentions, chance is there that the court may grant maintenance allowance approx Rs.3000 to your wife based on your salary. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance or help from me.
