But, the interim maintenance or maintenance can claim by the wife when she is not able to maintain herself.  when she is being a working women and received salary of Rs.14,000/- pm as per her own admission she cannot claim any maintenance. You contest the maintenance case by engaging an advocate and you will get a favorable order.

2. Even assuming that she is an unemployed and seeking maintenance, it is her bounded duty to prove your annual income before the court, mere claim of seeking maintenance of Rs. 40,000/- would not give her a fruitful solution. 

You may move an application to summon her employer  with records related to her employment including her income. 

1. You can object the same in court on grounds of her income. 

2. You can file application in court to direct them to produce salary slips,  work timings and attendance records.

Yes.

1. You may try to prove her real income by seeking production of her bank statements, ITR etc. Also to demote her from full-time to part-time, there must have been some correspondence from her Company, seek that also. You can also highlight her reduced income during arguments to claim that she has intentionally and deliberately left her full time job only to harass you. 

2. Put a detective behind her.  Issue witness summons to the Company.  

3. To ensure you are not saddled with high maintenance, it is important that first and foremost you leave no ambiguity as far as your financials are concerned.  Businessmen are as it is considered to be guilty of not disclosing full income.  Dont make it worse by not producing the income proof sought by her as otherwise Courts will be perforced to draw adverse inference. Secondly, highlight your dependents. 

4. She may seek production of the Profit and Loss Accounts of your business,  your bank details and all other proofs of your income to substantiate her claims of your income. 

5. Court has to consider everything but it also depends on how it is presented. 

6. Yes, you may do that. Do no, however, show a drastic reduction in income or no income as that would cause the Court to get suspicious.  Show a moderate income.  

1) consult your CA for planning your income tax returns 

2) court can direct you to produce your bank statements , tax returns which would reflect your income 

3) if your earnings have dropped Court would consider said fact in determining maintenance 

Probably she may file based on the IT return.  If she failed to prove your income through  the documents then court may ask you to produce the document to show your income.  In such a situation,  you have to prove your case that your yearly income is lower than your wife's claim. 

If the wife herself deserted from the marital home and living separately and able to maintain herself from her earning she cannot claim maintenance from her husband. Focus this point in your case you will get a favorable order.
